<p>I am a senior in high school and was wondering what can a person with a CS/STATS do? Also, what about CS/MTH or CS/ECON? </p>
<p>I know you have to wait until sophomore year of college to declare major(s), but I'd like to get a little idea of different double majors possible out there. (I'm finishing up Calc II and will take Linear Algebra or Matrix Algebra next semester, so those will be taken care of.)</p>
<p>I am interested in computer science and would like to pair it with another field to be intellectually sound for careers. I plan on receiving an MBA with concentrations in Finance and Entrepreneurship in grad business school. Any thoughts would be appreciated.</p>
<p>If you can do well in CS and Math, and by that I mean really, really well, ultimately it may lead to a path of quantitative finance. In general, I would however recommend a CS/Physics background. If you do choose Math over Physics, you should focus on Analysis as opposed to Algebra or Geometry. However, quite likely you will need an interim stop either getting a Masters in Fin Eng, or, better, a PhD in Physics, as that would be the type of people you will be competing with. The job can be exceptionally satisfying intellectually, and pays very handsomely.</p>
<p>Of course, all this is moot if you don’t like the hedge fund route.</p>
<p>Hate to be rude, but you kinda didnt answer my question. I, pretty much, only asked about specific degrees. Im interested in physics only to take one class in it next semester. Plus, my education ends at the Masters level; no pHD for me.</p>
<p>^disregard the first two sentences there:</p>
<p>Im interested in physics only to take one class in it next semester. and My education ends at the Masters level; no pHD for me (parents say no and im not willing to study that long). My dad says do tech + MBA and you’ll be golden. </p>
<p>I was looking heavily at CS/STAT double major. It could help me be a great data reader for big financial firms or whatever. Im not sure though - my ideas change a lot.</p>
<p>Going into finance with a degree in CS is a waste of time. Do finance or stats, or econ+math instead. If you like both, the money is in software.</p>
