Hey frens, Is it appropriate to study biology(interested major) in TOTAL FREE(100%) in some 3rd tier university of rural area of Louisiana, or is it best to study electrical engineering(looking at the job prospects), paying some thick bucks(like 8000/year) to the university in a urban area?? P.S---am not that good in engineering as in biology, but still I know that i can get some good grades even if i study engineering!!!! Please, give me some good suggesstions, I am totally confused...i would be grateful to yall!!!! Thank You,(only serious replies anticipated) Merry Christmas!!!! :):):)

If you are not good in engineering, you do not get good grade (actually good learning) just by pouring the thick bucks ($8000/year) and ultimately you won't get job if you don't have good understing of your subject matter. My suggestion is go for the one where you can do outstanding (good is not enough in this country). I think this is possible only if you really like that field. For excellent achiever there is job, there career, there is future, there is everything. But life is yours, final chioce is yours.

More often students enroll in a major that is convenient. Later they end up complaining because of no job prospects. your choice of major shouldn't be dictated by how convenient it is. Firat ask yourself how passionate can you be in the course. Second do a research, ask your school career counsellor on the job prospects associated to the major. Those two pointers should drive your decision. Just bcoz EE is a good field don't take it, I have seen too many friends w/o a job in EE. You have to major with over 3.5 gpa and have had some exposure with internships. Hope that helps.
