Only my dad would complain that "computer science" isn't a scientific enough major.

Every time I talk to him he has to plug electrical engineering... you'd think he'd get the clue that I'm sticking with comp. sci. after a few years.... nope.

Oh well, I love him despite his stubborness.
 
My dad constantly pushes engineering onto me. Damn those engineers. Of course he got his bachelors in Industrial, masters in Mechanical, and works as a Chemical engineer.
 
my dad got phd in geology *yea, GEOLOGY* and now hes pushing it on me too. hes like "go study the earth!!!" im like, "dude.....dad, thats retarded"

I'd say "yes, you I do", or "no, you I dont", but I'm not sure which one is correct.

It doesn't require knowledge of the English language either it seems.

whatever, bachelor's in business major will make more money than engineering evar!!!! muahahhaha.

Right, modelling those 3D environments onto a 2D screen is a snap. Hell, I'm going to go write a 3D engine RIGHT NOW.

Ok ok, I talk out of my ass. I was just telling what a friend of mine said.

 
Computer Science is not scientific unless you are solving science problems using it. BTW, you and your dad are both being screwed. CS and Engineering work is being off shored to India by major corporations. Jobs will be scarce in the US and salaries will drop. It's already started. Switch to Liberal Arts NOW!

I don't think you recall correctly. Much of theoretical CS is layered on top of higher-level math.

Advanced CS theories is basically high level math because computers were developed in the first place to solve high level mathematic problems.

LOL!

And CS can use fairly advanced mathematics in animation, simulation, AI, vision and theory, especially at the graduate level.

Well, what I meant was that CS math is not the same math as EE. But I heard this from a friend who studies CS so I don't know this first-hand.

Where?

in his dreams 😛

business will make you more money, but frankly those that make it big in business generally didn't need a bachelor's in business if they even got one.

well... does he consider math to be a scientific major?
 
If you're going to take three semester's of calculus anyways, I would go for engineering. Computer Science majors are alot more common than engineers.

A highschool dropout will make more money than both(ie. Mark Cuban/Bill Gates)

God forbid you should know how to use a bit of linear algebra 😛 😉
 
I'm studying Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and I would consider both to be very scientific, depending of course on the exact field of study. There have been amazing scientific developments in the computer science field, notably in AI.

Not sure why your dad would knock CS, combined with EE its a pretty powerful tool. I'd think he'd be intrigued by what you've learned. I ventured into EE after my CS stuff because they work so well together.
