My university computer science courses left me quite disillusioned.
Between my second and third years I managed to land a summer job
programming in a small shop in the real world.  For my third year I
arranged my schedule so that I had Thursdays off, and continued to work
at my part-time programming job.  There was no fourth year -
I dropped out and went full-time, and have been programming ever since.

hardware controls to software to pique my interest.

  I believe that.
 "Engineers" should never go beyond a four year degree. These days that type of people shouldn't even go beyond an associates degree.
 Get your technicians' certificate. That's what you want.
 Rensselaer was way too much for a Bible nut.

A human, is only as much human as what his hopes are, what he yearns for, and what his concerns are. Not a single millimeter beyond that.
If he reads "Bible" he is parochial. Tribal. Will never understand citizenship. Will never be anywhere beyond "country music."
Others who're beyond him are Camel Jockeys. Aliens. Chinks.
Read your Bible and then die. Not much more there is you can do.
Oh, don't forget to pay your NRL membership. You don't want to lose that!
