<p>Okay right now I'm a rising junior in high school and I can't figure out what I should major in when I go to college. I know I want to do something dealing with computers, software and business and I also know that I want to make about 70k a year. Even after looking around the forums I became even more confused about what I should do. Dose any have any tips or help to find the right one for me?</p>

<p>Software engineering BS with an MBA?</p>

<p>There are programs out there that allow you to get a business and computer science/electrical engineering degreee. The merits of such programs...are debatable.</p>

<p>I say choose between Electrical or Computer for BS and get a MBA.</p>

<p>I'd say get a BSCS degree and then enter the workforce. As you enter the workforce, you can decide where you want to focus at that time - software development or the business aspects of it. You're at least 4-5 years away from that now so you have plenty of time to learn more about the field and change your mind a few times before you get there. You can head different directions after you enter the workforce as well including deciding to get an MBA if you still desire it. A salary of $70K wouldn't be an unusual starting salary for someone with a BSCS form a good school.</p>

<p>BSCS-->Bachelors of Science degree in computer science. ;)</p>

<p>First of all-- BY no means do you need to know what you want to do with the rest of your life.</p>

<p>Hell most people who graduate from college don't know either.</p>

<p>During your first 2 years of college feel free to explore the various computer/business fields and if one of them interests you-- go for it.</p>

<p>I'd advise to start with a CompSci or Engineering degree just because, in my opinion, they offer the best training and opportunities.</p>

<p>I would also say do the BS in Comp Sci then do an MBA with the Information Systems emphasis.</p>

<p>By being a CS major as an undergrad, so you will just about murder the IS courses as a grad....especially if you have some work experience beforehand.</p>
