Jobs for college grads with computer science and business double major?

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors
1

I am a freshman double major in computer science and business management. I originally wanted to only computer science, but I brought in enough credits to allow me to double major while still only taking 14 credits per semester. Before I declared my double major, I solely wanted to do software engineering, now since I am double majoring, I am looking for careers where I can use both degrees. I am interested in being a IT project manager, but that’s all I know of. Mainly my question is this:

What jobs are out there for recent college grads with a business and comp sci degree?

The CS major is the one that matters. You’d be able to get any software engineering job a typical CS grad would get.

While it doesn’t hurt, your business degree likely won’t mean much. You certainly won’t be put in a management position straight out of school.

Programming on Wall Street is one big one: basically any programming gig where finance or business is the background knowledge, you’ll have a leg up. You can probably also get the same jobs with a straight CS degree though if you’re good enough.

However, you may not necessarily need a full business major (as opposed to carefully selected out-of-major electives) for the useful finance, economics, and business knowledge for a computing job in the finance or similar industry.

I used to work on Wall Street. CS/Finance would be a good double major for Wall Street. CS/Business Management won’t mean much unless there are a few finance classes included.

So there would be no need in being in the M&T program at Penn?
