I've kinda always been uneasy about what my college major would be. Im now a senior in HS and am considering majoring in Computer Science, not sure why but that seems like something i could do plus i believe its good money (feel free to correct me if im wrong), what do u think???

Well, I'm totally behind your choice. It's a great field, and can be very creative and exciting. Of course, it's important to have as much information as possible. Do you have any programming experience? Did you like it? If you're not sure, try some java programming to see what you think.
If you enjoy the creative buzz of making things in software, then you're in the right place. If you like the technology but don't really like writing code, you might consider Management Information Systems (MIS). It's not as demanding, and generally focuses on using tools rather than writing them, but you'd still be solving problems using computers, and the pay is at least as good.

As For Mony it depends on where u are , but in general 10000 IT Related Jobs are created every year in the states alone ,
As for the Science Part Its fun, but does include alot of math logic, u even studdy Physics and in some coleges Biology ,simply cuz ur supposed to be a scientest (what ever that means) it has alot of HOMEWORK, includes long hours infront of a Comp. Screen and ppl tend to catogrise u as a "Computer Freak!" , mony wise it pays well first yar nothing less than 60Gs by year 3 at work u should be at least in the 150 G cat. unless something is wrong or ur being exploited
I hope that helps

Don't do something that you think will make you lots of money. If it turns out that you hate computers and programming then why bother. Find something you like to do, and see if there is a career in that. I got a computer science degree and found that it was really hard and i spent lots of night awake studying and or doing homework. But i really like computers and logic problems. Besides I think lawyers and business people with an MBA make the most money.

I think it is a great career choice! I love computers and I think I may choose Computer Science in college. The future is full of computers so I'm sure getting a good job in this field won't be a problem for someone with this major. Lots and lots of money indeed. There are so many things you can do. I really wish you luck with your choice. :)

Do you think that will be too much for you to handle? That is really a decision for you. Don't think of it as credits though. Think of it as courses. Look at your courses and think about how much time you are going to need to study for each particular class. Then think about how you aren't working this fall and how adding one more class than usual really should not hurt you. Really that decision is all up to you. Do you think you can do it? Only you know your study habits and what time you are going to have to do the courses and the studying. If those are the courses you want to take then just do it. I was taking 18 credits while working two jobs, and now I'm taking 15 credits while not working. I just don't feel like taking as many this semester, but if it is going to help you then do it. If you think it is going to hurt you then don't.

I have a CS degree and couldn't be happier. I'm doing what I like and have a rewarding career.
A special note though: In most cases ( in the case of a traditional university), you'll have a LOT of math classes. Most likely, you'll go through calculus III and on to differential equations, linear algebra, and the like. You'll do a lot with programming with respect to solving problems such as differential equations, integration, etc numerically.
If you love computers and hate math, you may want to look more to the business side, like a MIS type degree.
It seems like I took as many math classes as programming classes for the CS degree. My head still hurts, but it was well worth the work!
Good luck in your choice!

well trust me its hard. I am in my sophomore year of Computer Science. There is a TON of math and I mean a ton. Calculus mostly and then some computer science logic math and then stats. If you are decent at math then have at it. The computer courses are just as numerous, but if you like computers then they are no problem. Yeah its good money from the start if you can get into a decent business.

If you like math and like solving puzzles and logic problems then you'll enjoy computer science. Otherwise, you'll hate it.

My ex was a CS major, and he found it to be very rewarding...mentally and financially. A good choice, in my opinion.
