Anybody here who has done Systems Engineering or has some idea about it and don't mind answering my questions, it would be a great help to me. I have few questions regarding Systems Engineering. Here it is:-

-What is Systems Engineering? Please tell me in details like what they do?

-Is it worth going for this major?

-I live in VA, so is there good money in this field?

-Will i be in involved in a lot of math stuff at work?

-Some people say this is a management job, what do they mean by that?

-Will i be working on the computer the whole time or am i gonna have to write letters and do a lot of presentations??

- is masters worth going for if i wanna go for this major?

- Somebody said that its better to speak few languages if you wanna major in this field.. what does it mean??

However, I find it troubling that you're going into a major without at least looking it up in Wikipedia or doing a websearch:

How does one select a major without actually knowing what is involved (even from a 10,000 foot view)? Not knowing whether or not math is involved?

And asking someone else if it's worth pursuing a career in it? Isn't that a personal decision?
