   ICT or Physics
  Hey everyone,I'm currently in my last year at high school in Belgium. Next year I wanted to go to the University of Leuven (you guys probably won't know it). It's pretty good. It allows you to chose a major (headsubject) and a minor (a bit of a subject u do cause it interests). First I wanted to do physics as major and computer science as minor. But I'm afraid I won't get a job very easily. That's why I though of switching it, like doing computer science as major and physics as minor. But I hear the whole time that the big IT companies go to India and countries like that cause programmers are much cheaper there. I'm really interested in both, and I ask your advice of what I should do. I know a lot of you are professional and I hope you will give me some advice.Yoran   
  I think what your doing is great. Computer Science and Physics is a great combination! Especially if you want to get into games. Forget about the 'Big IT companies', you'll only be a small cog in a big machine and you'll probably end up turning into a computer. My advice, work for a small start-up. It's risky, but well worth it in terms of challenges and having a greater control of your own destiny. This is what I did and have never looked back.Mr. Creamy;  Yoran wrote:>First I wanted to do physics as major and computer science as minor.

MOST people don't get a job very easily after graduation, but if you follow your passions while you're in school, the job you get will more likely be a job that you'll like. Read  http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson40.htm.;  Agree with Tom.  Study something because you really enjoy it and are good at it, not just because it'd give you a job opportunity or because it'd make someone else happy.It's your life to live.   ;  Thanks guys for all the replies! I think it's going to be Computer Science as headsubject and Physics as minor. I've always been interested in computers and especially software development so I think I'm gonna go for that.Thanks!Yoran
