<p>Hello! I am a high school student, definitely majoring in Computer Science next year. When I grow up I want to start my own company, but also want to have a very solid back up where I make a very good amount of money working for someone. </p>
<p>For my backup, I think programming for banks/finance firms will give me the most money (on average - there are exceptions offcourse). While working for google/mocirsoft, i will make much less-unless at a very high position.</p>
<p>Currently I am thinking of double majoring in CS and Mathematics. (Give me more suggestions!)</p>
<p>Since I am probably going to NYU-Poly and NYU and NYU-Poly will officially megre as of 2013-14, I will be able to take business classes at NYU. So also recommend minors, I could possibly do at NYU.</p>
<p>P.S. : I am very good at both Math and Computer Programming, and enjoy both.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>This seems like the perfect time to bring up the dual MBA programs I recently read about. Anyone know much about them? I only know that they exist. A dual MBA-CS might POSSIBLY be a good idea. Just putting it out there. Wait on someone else to elaborate.</p>
<p>Here’s a couple of examples:</p>

<p>[Program:</a> Dual MBA and MS in Computer Science and Information Systems - University of Michigan - Flint - Acalog ACMS?](<a href=“Program: Dual MBA and MS in Computer Science and Information Systems - University of Michigan - Flint - Acalog ACMS™”>Program: Dual MBA and MS in Computer Science and Information Systems - University of Michigan - Flint - Acalog ACMS™)</p>

<p>And of course that would be after a B.S in CS.</p>
<p>It’s depressing to hear that a young high school student such as yourself wants to study math and computer science in order to make lots of money in the bloated and corrupt financial industry.</p>
<p>But if finance is really what you want to do, a CS + Math double major is a good choice. If anything, you’re better off focusing more on the math side and gaining depth in topics like data mining and machine learning in graduate school. Also, here is a ranking for computational finance graduate programs: </p>
