CS majors

[Shadow Conception]

Is AP Comp Sci an indicator of whether you'll like it or not?

There's a difference between hard and miserable. Hard majors can still be fun.

The only alternative I have to CS is something in business, such as Marketing or Business Admin - which are more....broad but too generic IMO.

Your school only has a Comp Sci and a business department? 😕

I personally never understood why anything past CALC I was absolutely required. Hell, CALC III I think as well depending on where you are for CS majors.

UNL here....Data Structures in C++, fucking nightmare. Went from OOP in Java to Data Structures in C++. Had us programing matrices in C++ as the first assignment, without even really learning C++. It was "learn how this concept works, and on the side for your assignments program this...not related to your assignments."

Conversely, an easy major can be worthwhile as well

No, I mean it is the only 2 majors I'm interested in.

What do you all think about BS in Bus. Admin and minor in CS?
