Cal 3 in high school? Wow, my high school only offered cal 1, very impressive! :D
Power systems are systems dealing with power lol. In laymans terms, basically power utilities (the company that generates, transmits, and distributes power to your home, college, business, local factories, etc).
I'm taking it at a college :)
Ah, nice! So actual engineering then. I guess you need to know plenty of science for that.
They would both be math heavy. Actuaries would be much more interested in statistics and accounting uses some very interesting mathematics. I took an accounting class and it was full of tables and whatnot to constantly change money values from past to present to future to reoccuring charges through time. Accounting was interesting but not my cup of tea--fairly easy class IMO.
I'll have to see if I like stats, haven't actually taken any classes in it yet. Accounting sounds interesting. But I'll get my degree and see what jobs I can get (even if I have to start out flipping burgers at McDonalds...)
Physics dealing with the nature of electrons and electrical and magnetic fields certainly helps :P
Stats really isn't bad--I made the top grade in my class. The hard part is remembering it all if you never use it after that lol. Also, don't get your degree and then see what jobs you can get. Have an idea of what you want to do (you don't have to stick with it, you can always change) and see if your college has an internship program. That's what I did--I interned for three semesters (each separated by a semester of school) and then continued to intern part time until I graduated. It was a paid internship so I could start paying off college and got some gas money plus I loved the company so much and did so well in my internships that they hired me on full-time after I graduated.
