<p>So my deal is the fact that currently I am enrolled in a community college trying to transfer to UCLA. I had decided that I was going to major in Poli Sci due to the fact that it's requirements were easy to acheive and I could easily get out in the two year goal I had set. However a Poli Sci degree isnt even as close to as valuable as a Comp Sci degree. Given that my like for the two completely different subjects are equal. Is it better to possibly take an extra year of community college and make my college life harder by majoring in comp sci but obtaining a degree I can do more with. Or is a Comp Sci degree just overrated, and its just important to get you're bachelors quickly. Any Thoughts guys?</p>
<p>The question is, how strongly do you want to work in jobs where the knowledge behind a CS degree is helpful (e.g. computer software development and QA)?</p>
<p>Have you taken any CS and math courses at your CC? Did you like them and do well in them?</p>

<p>That might turn out to be mistake. The point is not the get things easily (that’s why hard science majors or, equally well, practical vocational degrees are respected/valued). Either study what you’re interested in or what’s universally valuable and what you’re also interested in (e.g. hard sciences, applied science majors, practical subjects).</p>

<p>There’s nothing to compare even.</p>

<p>If you want to do more. Comp Sci is a multidisciplinary field in the sense that computation and data handling can be used for many purposes. E.g. you could do or research political or societal simulations.</p>

<p>No, it’s one of the most significant fields of the 21st and late 20th centuries.</p>
