here are a few fields I am considering:

Computer Applications -- Bachelor of Computer Science
Computer Engineering -- Bachelor of Engineering
Mechanical Engineering -- Bachelor of Engineering
Computer Systems -- Bachelor of Computer Science
Finance -- Bachelor of Commerce
Marketing -- Bachelor of Commerce

Now you guys should know... I do not plan on getting a "job" with any of these degrees. I just want a paper to fall back on if anything and something to help me out in my internet career.

I do wish to invest my money in the future, maybe even become a stock broker for the hell of it and to benefit myself, so Im thinking Finance is good shite...

what do you guys think? here is detailed info about each program!

thanx alot guys!

Computer Applications:
Computer Science is the study and design of computer systems: both hardware and software. Computer Scientists are primarily concerned with the design of algorithms, languages, hardware architectures, systems software, applications software and tools. Applications range from simple game playing to the control of space vehicles, power plants and factories, from banking machines to intelligent fault and medical diagnosis.
Computer professionals, in short, must have some knowledge of that business or area of application. You may focus your studies on one of the following options: Computer Applications, Computer Systems, Information Systems or Software Systems.

Computer Engineering:
Computer Engineering focuses on the design of computer networks, and their integration into devices, systems and processes. Formerly a specialization within electrical engineering, computer engineering at Concordia has evolved into a separate degree program. New technology has resulted in a high demand for engineers with expertise in the areas of digital electronics, digital hardware, and digital computer design.

Mechanical Engineering:
Mechanical Engineering involves the design, construction and control of machines and equipment as well as the research and development of new processes, materials and techniques.
The terms ?automotive? or ?aeronautical? engineer include a very large number of specialties, such as internal combustion or jet engine design, vibration analysis, control engineering, production engineering, materials handling, measurements, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, to name but a few. All these fields are being revolutionized by the introduction of the computer into all aspects of design (computer-aided design) and manufacturing (computer-aided manufacturing), so as to enable our industries to produce higher quality products at a lower cost to the consumer.

Computer Systems:
This option provides a structured program in both computer software and computer hardware. A knowledge of the various aspects of digital hardware, and of ?interfaces? between the computer and those input and output devices which connect it to the world, will enable graduates of the Computer Systems option to co-operate with computer engineers in the development of new hardware and related software.

Finance:
The Department of Finance will familiarize you with all aspects of financial management and decision making. You will learn how corporations make financial decisions and how individual investors can select and manage their investment opportunities. In addition, you will have the opportunity to become familiar with the increasingly important fields of derivative securities and the management of financial services industries. Our course selection makes it possible for you to specialize in the three major areas of finance: Corporate Finance, Investments, and the Financial Services Industry. You will learn basic concepts through lectures, case studies, and simulation procedure.

Marketing:
The Marketing curriculum ensures that students are up-to-date and fully equipped in terms of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes suitable for marketplace success in the twenty-first century. The applied ?how to? approach that pervades the marketing curriculum greatly enhances each student?s employability and value to a corporation immediately upon graduation.
