Thread: Any Computer Science Majors here?

Hello.

Im a newbie but im here seaking some advice.

Im currently entering my 3rd year of college doing a Computer Science degree. Im begining to have second thoughts about persuing a CS degree and is considering the IT route. I have the CS base core down and could Major in IT and Minor in CS.

Basically I want to know what is done on the job for a daily Computer Science Major. Thanks

I recently got a degree in CS and Physics. Jobs for CS majors vary a lot, you're probably not going to get a uniform answer. There are so many different disciplines within CS-you could do networking, operating systems, database stuff, image processing, numerical analysis, bioinformatics... just to name a few.

My last project at work was largely IT/sys admin: lots of software installs and configurations. I personally didn't find that part of the job very stimulating.

Because there are so many disciplines within CS and because of today's technology and computer-oriented world, there are always jobs open for computer scientists, and they generally pay well.

I'm not in CS, but I thought that this is what CS guys do:

I am working on a bachlors in game simulation programming, after that I wil be taking CES course which is computer engineering systems. I will then be able to work on my masters in CIS ( computer information Systems ) then tieng it up with a PHD in Computer Scienses.

I am taking the Game simulation Programming for it will give me my certs in programming which I will need in order to take my masters in CIS. my CES degree will support some "dream's" I have with hwo a computer should be vs what you can buy.........


ANY degree involving computers is a CS degree. it is the area you are trying to focus on that counts

well i want to be a game programmer.and no university in the caribbean teaches game desiging.but i am planning on doing a degree in cs to start though........

Career prospect for anyone majoring in computer science are very wide. With computer science degrees you develop proficiency in programming, networking and database management. This means that a student graduating with a computer science degree is prepared to work under variety of environment and perform versatile functions. The computer science degree program offered by CollegeAmerica, in which I am enrolled to, also prepares me for various certifications. Once you graduate with a computer science degree you can work as application programmer, networking administrator, database administrator and many such responsible positions in the field of IT.
