<p>I want to work in the financial industry I'll be transferring to a state college next year and I'm trying to decide if I should major in finance or computer science. Not going to an Ivy League for a finance degree means I'll probably be stuck as an adviser, and cold calling/going door to door isn't my idea of what a college degree should get me.</p>
<p>Would getting a degree in computer science be a better option for this industry. That way I could hopefully get into financial engineering in the backrooms writing programs to "predict" futures and derivatives or is this the same deal as above?</p>
<p>I'm so in between right now I have no idea what would be better and I like both equally</p>
<p>Who says you can only be an advisor?</p>
<p>The lack of effort I’ve put into high school and community college because I wasn’t interested in going to a university at the time. I have 3.0’s and will only get into California State colleges (UCSD, SDU, SJSU & SFSU is what I’m looking at) both of those will not even get me an interview in New York or Chicago.</p>
<p>I’m still not sure how college transfers and such work. I’m the first one in my family to actually take more than 2 classes at community college. While my family isn’t poor by any means I didn’t have the drive or the guidance to focus and do good in high school like I should have.</p>
<p>I’m looking to start over at a university that is cheap because I’m in state. I know I can get >3.7 if I focus myself.</p>
<p>one more question, if I transfer to a university from cc and do extremely well, say 3.9+, can I try and transfer to a top tier school even though I’ll have already completed 60 lower level units? Does my question make sense?</p>
<p>So you are at a CC, but you haven’t been there long? Is that correct? </p>
<p>I’m from Texas, and had to learn alot about transferring the hard way. Here UT’s business school is ranked 10th or something and Texas A&M is 28th, both extremely hard to externally transfer into from another school. UT’s admission rate is like 13% and TAMU’s is 15%…</p>
<p>I would advise you to do your homework about classes, graduating on time and what each school is best at…the big publics can be a nightmare for those coming from CCs. I had a 3.91 through 52 hours and didn’t get into UT because I wasn’t aware they required traditional cal over business cal until it was too late. So like I said, do your homework…</p>
