I checked, it doesn't make any sense; your factbook is not visible, which is weird.

I still have an IT degree in the plan, despite the fact I've already started an Arts undergrad degree (in Media) and plan to do a certification in sound engineering (one of 'real' engineering's little brothers and sisters). A shame - over the years I've gone from relatively interested in to entirely deadset against working in the IT sector. My hope is to actually get work experience in sound or video production before it comes to applying for IT jobs.

There is always a dire need for more engineers, otherwise our outrageous machine civilization would collapse faster than a snow fortress in the fiery pits of hell.
