<ul>
<li><p>I am supposed to be a junior in the fall at my LAC.</p></li>
<li><p>Biology major at LAC with 48 credit hours</p></li>
<li><p>planning to transfer to state school to save money and work at the same time to pay for debt.</p></li>
<li><p>considering changing majors from biology to computer science (has no exp in computer science)</p></li>
<li><p>I want a marketable degree and I was thinking about switching to computer science.</p></li>
<li><p>if I study computer science, I might have to take an extra semester or two before I can get the degree (5-6 semesters). </p></li>
<li><p>if I stick to biology, I can minor in computer science and math and still graduate on time (4 semesters).</p></li>
<li><p>I would utilize summers for both these options.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>My question is, is it better for me to graduate on time, save money, and just enter a masters program for computer science or bioinformatics as a biology major/ math and computer science minor</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Is it better to stay the extra semester or two and get a computer science degree along with a biology minor and math minor?</p>
<p>I know someone is going to say "If you are doing computer science,with no previous experience,for the money and job prospects, quit now".</p>
<p>I don't think it's fair to blame me for wanting a marketable degree.</p>
<p>I didn't like biology because it was pure memorization. I enjoyed my math classes because of the logic involved. This is why I don't think I'll struggle with comp sci.</p>
<p>I know i can get good grades as long as I pay attention in class, do my hw, and go to office hours for help.</p>
