Career / hobby question?

First, a second degree is easier than your first, you already have all the electives. Second, circuits is all about the math. If you have taken all the math that a Electrical Engineer has to take, you can finish off your second degree in two years. That is how long it takes a full time student to complete the linear, and non linear circuit design, and basic and digital control theory.

So if you are still interested, start taking evening courses at a local engineering school. Even Devry has a Bachelors of Engineering Technology that is more hands on and less theory. However if you really want to work in IC circuit design, you should go for your Masters in Electrical Engineering.

For me, photography is a paid hobby. What do I mean by that? I mean that I do it as a hobby because I like to do it... but I leverage myself in a way that will allow me to get paid for it. (i.e. corporate events, portraits, stock photos etc). There are a ton of different areas that you can make decent money as a photographer even if you just want to do it as a hobby. My main objective when i shoot, is to have fun.... Once it becomes a J.O.B. I start to lose interest and have less fun... so, it stays a hobby. But I do make money with it.... quite a bit actually. You might be interested in my blog (link below). It's designed for hobbyists that want to make money as photographers but don't know how to get started with marketing themselves. When you take on photography as a career, there is more to it than just taking pictures. You also have to be a savvy business person, and a great marketer.

The Masters of Science program in Computer Science provides intensive preparation in the concepts and techniques related to the design, programming and application of computing systems. The program requires students to take a broad spectrum of courses, while simultaneously allowing for emphasis in desired areas of specialization. The program is based on HEC guidelines. The program comprises one-year of study over at least 3 semesters. It requires completion of 30 credit hours of course work. Students take 8 courses and a thesis of 6 credit hours equivalent of 2 courses in order to complete their degree requirements. Students must maintain a 3.0 CGPA for conferment of degree.
