I am a incoming computer science college freshman. I really want to have the job offers rolling in after I graduate. In addition, I want to make myself more attractive to employers. How should I go about this? Should I add another major with computer science. I am not worried about the time length because at my orientation last week, my counselor told me I have over 30 credits. Really, I am trying to figure out the best way to have a good job after I graduate. More minors, community involvement,GPA, etc. I need some help.
No. Unless you really interested in another subject. A double major/minor will help as long as the major is related to CS (ex: Math, EE, Physics, Biotech, Graphics Arts, Digital Arts,…) but it’s not critical.
More important, you need to have research experience, intership jobs, and probably some graduate level courses to impress employers. Keeping a minimum GPA (3.2+, preferably 3.5+) is also necessary.
Wait, why are you so keen about having a second major. Are you international? It doesn’t help at all.
