Best majors to pick to get a great career

<p>^plus u have to take classes with CS majors for 4 years…</p>

<p>Strange people</p>

<p>I would say a great, reliable job would be accounting. I am attending Binghamton University and the amount of accounting recruiters from here is unbelievable. There is basically a job waiting for you once you graduate, if you make it happen of course.</p>

<p>Go to various university web sites and put “career survey” in the search box and see what comes up.</p>

<p>Berkeley, Cal Poly SLO, and Virginia Tech have particularly detailed career survey reports, although they are obviously limited to majors that they offer.</p>

<p>Accounting isn’t really sitting behind a desk all day counting beans. That’s how it used to be, sure, but every professional accountant I’ve met seems to at least somewhat enjoy their job.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I know exactly what you’re talking about, but not every CS major is like that. There are plenty who aren’t.</p>

<p>^ Oh I know. Just a higher concentration of those types of kids in CS as opposed to ME or something.</p>

<p>You’d be surprised now that CS is more of a mainstream major. The M/F ratio I would say is close to 70/30 or even 60/40 now. More normal people.</p>

<p>Electrical</p>

<p>engineering.</p>

<p>Not</p>

<p>that</p>

<p>hard</p>

<p>to</p>

<p>understand.</p>

<p>^^Disregard. Roommate jacked my computer haha</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well then you get to talking about females in CS…</p>

<p>To not attack the numbers you must have not taken any CS classes. Not exaggerating, it’s more like 90/10 here.</p>

<p>^yeah that ratio did seem off haha.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the help. I really want to know if comptuer science will be difficult for me. You have to spend a lot of time on it and you basically have to teach yourself and the classes move at a fast pace, don’t know if i can handle it working at the same time. I’m relaly thinking about economics and math. Where should I start for computer science?</p>

<p>Anyone? lol</p>
