<p>I'm a bio major but recently have become really interested in CS. I don't believe it's possible to double major for me at this point because of time/units but I can get a minor. My question is is it worth it if I want to pursue a job that requires a CS bachelors even though I'll only have a minor? I'm talking about a job that doesn't relate to bio at all either. In particular I really want to work for an animation company like pixar doing animation but their interships/jobs require CS bachelors. I know my question sort of answers itself (a minor is not a bachelor) but I know I can apply to graduate school for CS with only a minor so I thought maybe this could be similar. After all, the difference between the minor and major only differs by 3-4 courses.</p>
<p>You can use a CS minor to pick up women.</p>
<p>^ done deal. Getting it.</p>
<p>If you are genuinely interested in the subject and apply your skills towards it, that plus the minor will carry you much further than an actual degree by itself will.</p>
<p>The field’s still very much a meritocracy, and as it’s still developing, new technology comes out all the time. The knowledge you get from the actual degree just gives you a well-rounded perspective of mistakes / solutions that others have made, which will allow you to learn faster and be more effective.</p>
<p>There’s really quite a few non-CS majors doing very successfully in the field.</p>
<p>My advice to you: don’t worry too much about the details: take the classes you’re interested in, especially CS184 and all the requirements. You’ll have a good chance.</p>
