computer engineer

i am gonna try to be computer engineer someday so i was wondering what should i learn or do to get prepared right now since i am a high school senior..

currently i am working on getting my A+ certification..

should i learn programming languages? should i get certification for Microsoft excel, word?

Lawl...you're in your senior year and you want to become a computer engineer.
What prerequisite classes did you take to get into a post secondary school.

i have a ton of friends that are computer engineers and all they do is build computers for a livin

Don't get A+
CompTia sux.

Computer engineer has two sub-categories. Hardware engineer and Software engineer. Software engineers develop operating systems, parts of a operating system and drivers. Hardware engineers create the actual hardware in the computer.

Learning excel\word isn't going to get you anywhere. You need to look in programming with the more advanced languages like c and assembler. If you're into hardware engineering, you need to learn how to program microcontrollers and some electronics.

There's a lot more information about them I haven't given you a billionth of it, it's a massive subject. Google the terms and you should get some fairly decent results.

Well, depending on where you go to you have various definitions of the term Computer Engineer. Do you want to deal with HARDWARE or SOFTWARE? Computer Engineers and Computer Scientists can be branched further depending on your university, for example: Game and Simulation Programming Degree & Careers | DeVry University

Its all stringent on what you want to do specifically, and in what degree plan.

Fml, I have to reboot \suicide.

Anyways, most people here are going to grow-up and become something related with the computer.
