<p>So I can almost guess what your answers will be, but I'm stuck. I LOVE government and I really like my comp science class. We're still learning the basics of programming but I find it to be challenging/rewarding. My dad thinks I'm going to be a politician someday because I love all things related to government and maybe even want to pursue a career in public service. However, there aren't a lot of good government jobs that pay well unless you're a lawyer or a lobbyist or politician. I like the idea of being a public servant but I'm socially awkward. Comp science has a great job market tho and good starting salaries and I could get better scholarships for comp science since Id be a woman majoring in STEM. What should I do?! P.S. Math isn't my strong subject-actually the lowest on my ACT at 26 so if I have to do a lot of math, then I don't think I'd like comp science. </p>
<p>Comp Sci does require a lot of math. At my college, we have to take math through Linear Algebra (Calc 1, Calc 2, MultiVar/Calc3, Linear Algebra is the sequence). </p>
<p>Buuuuuut, the cool thing about college is that you can study both! #Hooray You could double major, or major in one subject and minor in the other. It’s your life; make sure you’re happy with it.</p>
<p>Por que no las dos?</p>
<p>Double majoring without coming in with a lot of credits is pretty difficult especially when one of those subjects is a technical one. Not many classes would overlap meaning the second major could easily be 50-60 extra credits on top of the main major. That would mean about 170-180 credit hours which is close to 20 credit hours per semester over 9 semesters. Doing it with two humanities subjects would make it easier and doing it with two subjects that overlap a lot could reduce it to 150 credit hours.</p>
<p>Also minoring is usually not very valuable. You could do it if you are passionate about learning about a subject and sometimes it’s only two or three extra classes. Very rarely is there any tangible benefit to minoring in a subject.</p>
<p>P.S. if you’re socially awkward, you’re going to still have trouble in computer science. It’s not as bad as public service where you have to constantly meet, talk to, and coordinate hundreds of people, but employers once you get the interview are looking at people’s personality and want strong leaders and personable people.</p>
<p>Does either subject have a minor available at your college?</p>
