<p>I'm in high school and i'm not sure if i should take computer science my senior year because it would fill up my schedule when i sort of want to have fun. However, if it's related to business then i wouldn't mind taking it. I've researched for a bit and can't really find any good information. I know it's most computer programming but there is also some stuff on data analysis.</p>
<p>So, is there any point in taking computer science if i'm interested in business?</p>
<p>related to business is very vague
i think you should take it anyway just to see if you like it
and right now a cs major is much better than a business major</p>
<p>CS is one of the best majors you can do...I think average pay for someone graduating with a CS bachelors at Michigan is just short of $70,000 starting salary. Combine that with business and you are golden.</p>
<p>yes, take it.. it will make you more proficient</p>
<p>Hey there, I'm kinda in the same boat. Except I went for Software Engineering, and am really glad I did. I'm minoring in business mangement and plan to get an MBA down the road. There is a multitude of jobs in CS, and you can get an internship relating to business pretty easily too. Microsoft has a good Project Manager internship if that's the direction you want to go in, and there are also a ton of banking jobs too. Like I got an Internship for this summer at Goldmach Sachs. (Which I am reeeally excited for!) </p>
<p>So definitely go for CS, you can always get an MBA later and the technical skills you get with an engineering degree will prove to be invaluable. </p>
<p>P.S. If the schools you are looing at have a separate Software Engineering major, I would go for that instead of CS. The skills earned there would probably be more relevant if business is your ultimate goal. If you want to know more on the difference, just let me know.</p>
<p>CS and Business? yes, big time</p>
<p>Besides IT, MIS, and CIO level jobs CS is very important in business consulting worlds. SAP and other statistical programs allow for market research, sales forecasting, price modeling, etc. Most consultants seem to be CS guys.</p>
<p>Business Analysts, Strategy Analayst, Market Analyst all can be from CS backgrounds.</p>
<p>Business Intellegence, data mining, etc. is an up and coming MBA concentration that is destined to be huge.</p>
<p>CS is quickly becoming, IMO, THE undergrad degree for business leaders.</p>
<p>Alas, I'm a lowly chemical engineer.</p>
<p>luckily for you and I, CS majors probably have the worst people skills of any engineering major.</p>
