Body: <p>I'm still student in university, and I need 2 years to graduate, but the thing is I still don't know anything about computer science other than problem solving, C++/Python OOP and DataStructure; I know these are heavy important subjects but I'm still lost, my university is also lost for me and I have the power to learn more and more alone but all I need is a clear plan to do that..</p>
  <p>I think this question had been asked hundreds of times.. But still there's no good enough answers.. So let me rephrase the question and ask this :</p>
  <p><em><strong>How to know what kind of majors do I want to learn and work with in the future as graduated computer science student? AND Where to find a tree-plan of skills that I need to learn to reach my goal on that major? AND When I find that tree of skills, Where to learn those skills other than my University?</strong></em></p>
  <p>So I need to know what major I do really need, and how to learn it in a very good way..</p>
  <p>Please give me any helpful websites, articles, tests to know what major I want (idk if that's even exist) and anything you see it could help me :D</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>

Comments.Text: Hey ben, We know the expansive of careers in CS e.g. "Android Development", "Data Science", "Artificial Intelligence", "Web developer" and etc...
  I don't know what really fit me among those careers, but I really need to know.
  What I meant in my question is "How to know what career that fits me among of all these careers?".

Comments.Text: I'd add as well that there are effectively infinitely more careers in CS than you are considering; every field and every walk of life is bring touched by CS, so it is basically everywhere.  Forgetting about careers for a moment, what parts of CS seem interestinf to you? That's a good starting point.

Comments.Text: Yes there's a faculty advisor in my university, I will ask him one day.. but actually I don't really trust him that's why I'm here.
  
  I heard that (In general) there's about 21 main career in CS and you are able to merge every 2 of them to get you a new career!  and that's explain how we find CS in every thing in our life. This is actually awesome! but in the same time scary for me imagining myself in a maze named "CS" and there's tens of paths I have to choose one of them while I don't know what is the best for me..

Comments.Text: You asked what is the interesting part of CS for me..
  
  I would say coding in general, 2 years of coding and still love the idea that I am using a programming language to tell the computer what to do, but what I really hate is work in the same pattern every time (routine) that's why I love Problem Solving.
  I like challenges and critical thinking, I'm good at that.
  
  These things I said is what made me love CS from the first week of university till now.

Title: Clear plan for self-study?
ThreadText: # Clear plan for self-study?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-07-20)
  
  I'm still student in university, and I need 2 years to graduate, but the thing is I still don't know anything about computer science other than problem solving, C++/Python OOP and DataStructure; I know these are heavy important subjects but I'm still lost, my university is also lost for me and I have the power to learn more and more alone but all I need is a clear plan to do that..
  
  I think this question had been asked hundreds of times.. But still there's no good enough answers.. So let me rephrase the question and ask this :
  
  ***How to know what kind of majors do I want to learn and work with in the future as graduated computer science student? AND Where to find a tree-plan of skills that I need to learn to reach my goal on that major? AND When I find that tree of skills, Where to learn those skills other than my University?***
  
  So I need to know what major I do really need, and how to learn it in a very good way..
  
  Please give me any helpful websites, articles, tests to know what major I want (idk if that's even exist) and anything you see it could help me :D
  
  Thanks in advance
