<p>So since the beginning of summer, I have been totally confused as to what to major in.</p>
<p>I will be attending USC this upcoming spring. My plan was to intially pursue a degree in USC'S double/joint major program in Computer Science/Business and found that very marketable. After taking a C++ class this semester, (It's been about 2 weeks) computer science just doesn't seem to be my thing. I cannot imagine myself taking those type of classes (Which I assume will be of the same/related concepts) for about 3 more years and possibly doing stuff like this at my job.</p>
<p>What do you guys think of majoring in business while getting a minor in astronautical engineering? Would a minor be enough to land a job in the space industry? Would it be worth minoring in such a thing?</p>
<p>My other choice would be to double/joint major in Business and international relations and do a double minor in business law and global communications.</p>
<p>Can y'all please give me the pros/cons of my choices? It would be REALLY helpful. I need to decide very soon.</p>
<p>Well majors..I don't think..are shown on degrees, and I don't think they help much in the job world....I would do business law and global communications.</p>
<p>Lol, how do majors not help in the "job world"? Isn't that why we go to college...?</p>
<p>Astronautical engineering has been what i've always wanted to do, but I find business to be better in overall terms. I have no idea if a minor in astronautical engineering will be worth it...</p>
<p>Soccer guy, I was thinking that as well. To make it simpler, if everyone can just pick one of the three:</p>
<p>1.) Double/joint major in computer science and business
2.) Major in business and minor in astronautical engineering
3.) Double/joint major in business and international relations and double minor in business law and global communications.</p>
<p>You might want to post your question on the Engineering forum. I don't know whether a minor in astronautical (aeronautical?) engineering is possible or wise. I agree that if you aren't going to like CS, you should change your plans for the major. But I don't know whether a C++ course is representative of what much of the coursework would be like. I think you'll also find knowledge about that qx ont he Engineering majors forum.</p>
<p>I am a little confused about how you've always wanted to do AE but thought "business would be better in overall terms." I'm wondering why you didn't/don't go for the AE degree and take a smattering of business courses if it interests you.</p>
<p>When I say "better in overall terms" I mean that it would be better job wise and financial wise. Also, business is a universal thing while AE is not. Finding a job for business is alot "easier" than it is for AE. I just believe that having a business degree gives you many more options.</p>
<p>As for the C++ course, I agree that it doesn't represent everything in CS, but the concepts will be the same later on as well.</p>
