Computer Science Degree?

Hi. I'm a former Computer Science student, but I can give you some relatively vague information. If you don't know this, comp sci has many branches to it; it really is a vast subject with many concentrations. I happened to concentrate in computer graphics, which is like the programming behind animation. The first thing you should do is do some research and find out which concentrations you like the best, and then when you get to college, pick out classes that best suit that concentration. If you're not sure, of course, ask a comp sci director or professor, or your counselor.

I took two comp sci classes before I switched to an Animation major. I decided I didn't like programming at all; if you're really into Logic, then comp sci is for you. It's a lot of "if... then..." and using "and" or "or". Since I have absolutely no sense of logic, comp sci didn't make any sense to me. However, the end products are cool, once you write programs. The people who were in comp sci with me definitely had many sleepless nights, just because writing programs is very long and tedious work, and requires a lot of trial and error. Bugs in programs are really annoying, and sometimes it takes hours to find the bug that's messing up your program. I guess that to really like comp sci, in general, you should be into reasoning and logic, as I stated before, and being on a computer for hours at a time. Also, you have to like creating things, like games or functional programs.

There are SOOOO many internships and jobs for computer scientists out there. I can tell you it's in high demand, so I wouldn't worry about a job. You can work in virtually any industry: gaming, designing websites, working at NASA or airplane companies, working anywhere in the world. If you like it, it may be stressful, but enjoyable. At least you have many options.

Annnd, I go the University of Pennsylvania, which doesn't have a known computer science department anyway, but is still pretty credible. For good techy schools, try out schools like MIT, Cal Tech, or Carnegie Mellon. I was just not cut out for comp sci, but good luck to you!

do no longer touch organic technology degree. No jobs. relaxing ranges won't in any respect land you jobs. organic technology a walk with the aid of a park pc technology, a real degree which you will ought to truthfully learn for. Worlds aside.
