<p>This is my first time on this site, so forgive me if I do/say something stupid. So, I'm a junior in high school that is dual-enrolled, and I'm getting my AA degree when I graduate. Then I'm going to a university with my first 2 years of general classes behind me. I always just figured I'd go into some premed major, but now I've completely (and unexpectedly) changed my mind. I like studying biology and health sciences, but I just don't want to do health care, work all the time, or go to med school (which I've heard horror stories about). Providing patients healthcare just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I have a wide range of interests and really want a well-paying, non-boring job (and not a lonely one). I really like foreign languages, computer science, biology, and psychology. I really want a job with security, and decent pay. I don't want want anything where my pay relies on something stressful like a lawyer winning their court case or a scientist discovering something helpful. I couldn't handle that type of stress where I was unsure about the future. I am a hard worker and very smart, so don't take me for a slacker. I just don't want a very stressful job where I have to work a lot. It would be awesome to have a normal 40 hours-per-week job and to have coworkers/friends. Please help, I need some guidance soon, because I really need to meet some pre-reqs for my university major.</p>

<p>Problem solved

<p>Seriously, CS can get you a 40-hour-a-week, not super stressful job where you can make a decent amount of money and have pretty good job security (especially if you’re at one of the bigger companies).</p>
<p>So do you know a lot about CS? I’ve heard that it could only give you a limited amount of jobs, such as a computer programmer, and they don’t have a very good job outlook. Anything else you know would be very helpful. I guess I’ll have to research it some more then, thanks for helping :)</p>
<p>I am a CS major myself and have connections in the field and a secure job for after graduation. </p>
<p>You do have a semi limited amount of jobs, especially if you don’t want to be a programmer - you will likely be either a programmer for a large company (Microsoft, Google), a programmer for a small start-up company, the owner of your own start-up company, a program manager, an IT specialist, or a researcher (this opens many doors - you can research anything ranging from robotics to cryptography).</p>
<p>However, the job outlook is certainly good for computer scientists. From a quick search, I found things like this: [Computer</a> Software Engineers and Computer Programmers](<a href=“http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos303.htm#outlook]Computer”>http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos303.htm#outlook) . </p>
<p>Let me know if you have more questions about the field :)</p>
<p>Thanks, you’ve really helped. If I have more questions, I’ll let ya know xD</p>
