After six years in college and deciding that I do not enjoy my major one
little bit, I'm a little bitter - I think I'm allowed :) So my real goal is
to end up working in the comics industry or anime industry.  No joke!  I
like it a hell of a lot more than I do Engineering, and I think I can make
it.

Take my advice - If you are just going/ just went into college and you do
not know what you want to do - FIGURE IT OUT QUICK!  I really regret wasting
the past six years - I really don't recommend discovering that you don't
like what you are studying when it's really too late to quit.  ICK!

But other than that, I'm really a cool guy with a slight ego problem.  :)
