Having been an avid editor on my school newspaper so far in high school, I’ve never been very much interested in computers, nevertheless computer science. Instead, I always craved a career in journalism. But recently, I got into the “creative” aspect of newspapers. Specifically, presenting stories in different web mediums, such as interactive graphics, accompanying illustrations, etc. Immediately, a future in this field became more appealing than a beat reporter. For the most part, math has always been an easy subject for me. Likewise, art has always been a part of my life. As a rising high school junior, is it possible for me to double major in Computer Science and Journalism in college, even if I have NO background in programming languages?
My dad is a computer science major and now works as a software programmer. He didn’t have any CS experience before college, and he did just fine. You should be fine.
DS had no programming experience in high school, majored in CS in college, graduated in 2015 and now works as a software programmer in Silicon Valley, and he’s doing just fine. You should be fine.
Can you major in it? Absolutely. Can you get a job in it? Maybe. CS is a field that is very focused on finding employees who are passionate, and many times that requires having a lifelong interest. That said though, you do clearly care about it, so if you find a way to do some sort of independent project during college then you might have a shot.
