Hey everyone I’m considering my major and need some help. I for sure want to pursue something with computers/technology/engineering. I’m looking at Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or IT. Mainly the first two though.
My main concern for CS is that it’s heavily math based. I’m not awful at math but I just don’t want a “math” major. I want a computer major. I also don’t know if computer science is just coding. That seems kinda boring just sitting coding all day, and math isn’t something I want to do every day. I know we all do math every day but I don’t want to be trying to figure out super hard equations all day and algorithms, etc.
Computer Engineering however seems like a great compromise as it’s some coding, but mainly the hardware component which is great since I love electronics, embedded systems, technology, white hat hacking, etc. The only worry is that 1. the physics classes required, and 2. I don’t want to be repairing people’s laptops. I want to work and study and develop new technology. What kind of jobs would CS and CE majors get? How can I look?
IT is sorta a fallback.
Any suggestions?
I for sure want to be around and work with computers when I grow up but I don’t know what kind of job that would be. Please help me. Thanks
