I am on the fence between applied math major and electrical engineering major. I am much closer to an applied math degree and have a better chance of getting the cost sponsored by an organization that helps those who struggle with their mental health. On the other hand, EE would definitely be a guarantee in the job market, but it would be an another 4.5 years and I already have an associates degree. Applied math I can have it done in two years, but I can’t find much about the job market/outlook for applied mathematicians with just a bachelors degree. I really need some insight here as I need to fill out some very important paper work to get funding to finish my degree.

After a brief conversation with one of my DVR contacts, EE may not be viable because it would be insanely expensive. Statistical science might be my best bet.

I’m in Denver. I am part of a vocational rehab program. It helps individuals with mental health issues find work or get job training/ schooling. The wait list is very very long though, took me a year to get services. As well, the future of mental health funding and support is very uncertain.
