<p>if you're interested in starting a computer software company- something like a mini version of yahoo or apple, should you major in computer science or business as an undergrad?
i'm equally interested in both but don't want to double major.</p>
<p>Computer Science - not a doubt in my mind.</p>
<p>I have a large group of friends that graduated last year as computer science majors. Many of them went into freelance software programming and are already making bank. The ability to communicate with customer needs would be helpful though, so what about a minor in Business Management/Admin?</p>
<p>CS with as many business classes as you can fit in.</p>
<p>Computer Science will be much more useful because (let’s face it) hardcore programming is not something a business major prepares you for. Also, dropping out of Stanford seems to be the most historically lucrative way of starting a computer software company ;)</p>
