I'm having a really hard time deciding. Please help if you can.
I am passionate and experienced with both areas. I've worked with my dad (systems engineer) and I've been in many high school, community, and other plays and have an interest in film acting (acting since 7, film and theater experience) and a lifetime contract with John Robert Powers Modeling and Acting Agency.
They're both dear to my heart and When I think of Acting, I want to do nothing else. When I think of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, I'm so excited to start...
but I don't know if they will let me double major in such a diverse double-major.
I need advice.
Should I do an Acting BFA major or a Computer Science BS major in college?
engineering majors tend to have lots of units (esp computer science) and so usually colleges recommend not to doulble major because you will be in college for a VERY long time.
good luck in computer science. i'm that major right now and it's so hard for me! i'm getting out!
i applaud computer programmers and engineers! they have so much brain power and really makes technology easy for the rest of us!
Reply:Sure they will.
If you can keep up the grades in both, go for it. you may have to work through a summer or two. You are very lucky to have diverse passions like that.
Reply:Do computer science just for the career factor. You can actually earn a really good living. Do acting on the side, as you know, most career actors are poor and desperate for any kind of paying work.

Is computer science the same as Computer Engineering?
I was checking assist.com, and i chose computer engineer as my major, and they gave me the list of courses i need to take in community college, then i checked computer science, and they listed the same courses. Are they about the same? And why do computer science majors get payed more?
Is computer science the same as Computer Engineering?
It depends, both concern the study of software but the emphasis can be very different. For graduate school, if you are looking into theory than CS is more applicable, but for real world application both apply.
Computer engineering tends to focus on software, and how software can be implemented on real world systems. For instance, representing a number in a binary system means you have to accomodate for data approximation. Computer engineering will cover more of the hardware aspects, it will focus more on operating systems.
Computer Science tends to focus more on the theory of algorithms (a set of steps), and how you apply algorithms to solve classes of problems. It focuses on how you measure the efficiency of an algorithm, what problems are not readily solvable. Computer Science at the higher level resembles math.
Computer science focuses on understanding problems and how to approach them, while computer engineering focuses on the creation of computational systems.
Reply:No, a Bsc is not an applied science degree.
Generally the CE is a combo of a lite EE degree with a lite CS degree.
Reply:Computer Science and Computer Engineering are different fields. As far as I know, the following definitions are universal- they certainly apply at the schools I know:
Computer Science is the field that deals with software- Programming, Software Architecture, Interface Design, etc. Etc. Etc.
Computer Engineering is the field that deals with designing the computers themselves- the chips and circuits and such. It's closer to other Engineering fields than to computer science, really.
The reason your list of courses in community college was the same is that you need to know a lot about Computer Science to do Computer Engineering, and a pretty fair amount about Computer Engineering to excel at Computer Science.
I don't know why your material lists computer scientists as paying more, in my experience it's more likely the other way around. Bill gates may be skewing the average. ;)
Reply:They are quite similar, but computer science is more software and computer engineering is more hardware (like EE in a way).
Reply:No, in general, they're not the same.
Computer science major tends to more soft wares while Computer engineering tends to more hard wares.
My brother and I got BS degrees at the same University. Mine was CS and my job title now is Programmer. His was CE and he is an engineer now.
BTW, who said that CS major get paid more? Most engineers make more money than programmers.
Good luck!
Reply:You may need to dig into the too a little bit more.
When I went to collage, the engineering department has a much higher reputation than the computer science department (computer science is where many of the ones that couldn't hack engineering went).
One thing to specifically look into is exactly what degree's you are eventually looking into. In my case stated above, you got into "computer engineering" by going into the Electrical Engineering department and therefore graduated with a BSEE. Because "engineering" is generally considered more difficult than "computer science", the BSEE had a lot more prestige than BSCS and BSEE earned more.
Reply:Well, ideally CE has some/more topics related to computer hardware, while CS has some/more topics related to computer theory in general.
To find out if they are the same, just go through the courses offered for CE and CS and you'll get a clear picture. For most schools, CE and CS are the same.
Reply:I believe computer science is a subset of computer engineering.
And software engineering mostly uses computer science unless you work for Intel or IBM.
Not sure may be you can get more about Software engineering from books below:

Reply:No they are not the same thing. I had the same delima and consulted the Head of the Engineering deparment for better understanding and this is what he said...Basically the best way to understand the differnce is to understand that Electrical Engineering(EE) is all hardware and Computer Science(CS) is all Software...Computer Engineering(CpE) is a combination and if you want to ultimatly deal with computers should be taken because to understand both hardware and software is key...But also a good thing to keep in mind is that if you know the hardware you can figure out the software but NOT the other way around so take EE if you are more interested in hardware and CpE if you are more interested in Software and forget that the other even exists because it does you no good to know nothing about hardware...by the way it only pays well because there are a short number of CS jobs and therefore pay more but if you want to be hired go for CpE
Reply:cuz in one you use science and in the other engineering?
Reply:The 2 majors are similar. but aren't exactly the same.
The way I think about, it is electrical engineering majors study mostly circuits and hardware. Computer science majors study mostly programming.
Computer engineers study a little bit of both: hardware/circuit and programming (I would argue more programming than hardware though).
That's my opinion from an academic perspective. In the work field however, there isn't really a difference whether you got a comp eng or comp sci degree. Both the degrees are just as good and are eligible for the same jobs. I had a comp science friend get a computer engineering job and vice versa. I even had an electrical engineering friend that got a computer science job! These guys were all out straight out of college with little to no experience). It really shows that it all depends on what you know and how you do on your interview.
Pay wise, I would say that's just an average and it shouldn't be more than a couple thousand difference. It really depends on where you work rather than which degree (comp eng/comp sci) you got.

I want to minor in computer science, what can be a compatible major for this related field?
I wanted to be a software engineer, but i've seen that i want to spend the whole of my life programming. i love working with computers. i have thereby decided to instead minor in computer science, but now i'm confused on what to major in. Can anyone help? any ideas? is there anyone out there who has a computer science minor? if so what is you major. i will soon be going to college, and i have to make up my mind fast.
I want to minor in computer science, what can be a compatible major for this related field?
Physics might be good, so's you understand the inner workings that make it possible for a computer to have an "instruction set" and to transmit instructions back and forth between devices, and how chips are built, and the theory of such; you might also consider psychology, and the nature of "intelligence".
Reply:you will probably get a much better answer from the counselors or professors at your college than you will from here.........that is their job......................duh
Reply:Same with me, go into all that IT stuff, its little bit of everything...networking,programing even the simple stuff is IT, installing programs, making accounts for people, hooking things up...

Whats the best Computer degree? Computer technology or Computer science?
I am currently attending college for computer technolgy but I am confused on exactely what type of computer job I would like (leaning towards networking). Would I be limiting myself with only a computer technology degree rather than Computer science. Thanks for any help, just dont want to waste 2 years then have to start back over because of a wrong decision.
Whats the best Computer degree? Computer technology or Computer science?
Most of the guys with computer science degrees that I know are working construction or as the Walmart technology sales clerks. If you get a degree in computer science, you'd be competing with the 500,000 unemployed computer science grads that are out there right now looking for work. Nearly all computer work is outsourced to India these days.

Any suggestions about AP Computer Science?
I will be doing AP computer science at my private school next year as one of my courses. I just want to know from the people who have already taken it about how I should prepare for this course?
Any suggestions about AP Computer Science?
elements of programming, if..else statements, loops, types of variables etc...
practicing in a High level programming level will behelpful ( read about the Java programming lang )

Should I do an Acting BFA major or a Computer Science BS major in college?
I'm having a really hard time deciding. Please help if you can.
I am passionate and experienced with both areas. I've worked with my dad (systems engineer) and I've been in many high school, community, and other plays and have an interest in film acting (acting since 7, film and theater experience) and a lifetime contract with John Robert Powers Modeling and Acting Agency.
They're both dear to my heart and When I think of Acting, I want to do nothing else. When I think of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, I'm so excited to start...
but I don't know if they will let me double major in such a diverse double-major.
I need advice.
Should I do an Acting BFA major or a Computer Science BS major in college?
they will let you, but it's gonna be hard.
this is my advice, get a b.s. in computer science, minor in acting. why? because when you graduate, you can work as a computer nerd, and look for jobs in acting.
once you have a b.s. in any field, you can practically get a master's degree in any field. so it saves you time. you don't want to waste time, but that's totally up to you.
Reply:Become an actor. You can always get roles as a computer scientist. What's happening is which part of your brain is
going to get refined. The world is flooded with computer people. It's a cliche by now. They become the machines they work on. Perhaps you can avoid this fate by doing both
and looking for a synthesis in your two passions. There is a problem with the double major: You'll be the jack of 2 trades
and less refined in both. It seems that you could either one
and the other would be an avocation.

I am working towards a BS in Computer Science and I have a problem.?
I am currently working towards a BS in Computer Science. The problem I am having is they offer plenty of programming languages to learn. I want to learn what is most suited in today's programming society and jobs. What are your opinions on what languages I should learn? Is there one language that will help me with others?
Also, this is most embarassing, I find that most of my time is spent learning math. I find it difficult to remember formulas unless i spend hours studying them. I know this is a crutial part in programming. Do you have any suggestions on how I could learn them easier or remember them?
I am working towards a BS in Computer Science and I have a problem.?
%26lt;rant type=long%26gt;
Firstly, the math stuff:
There are a lot of 'study methods' to help you retain information like formulas, but what really helped me was trying NOT to memorize formulas. Instead, try to figure out the logic/math behind the formula. Once you understand what's going on, you don't need to remember the formula (yeah, I know, and yes, it can be a lot of work). The nice thing about this is it makes the class dramatically easier; it can also improve your CS skills. Once I had 'figured out' a formula, I would usually write a program for my graphing calc to do the work for me (of course, we were allowed to use calcs on tests, you may not be).
As for the language you choose, just keep in mind that you are not learning it for the sake of learning the language. You are learning it so it can be used as a tool to teach you about computers. It is unlikely you will be exposed to just one language in school, but if forced to choose only one, I would go with C++. It can be low-level enough to let you see (basically) what is really happening on the machine, but high-level enough to let you get an understanding of objects, advanced data structures, etc. Furthermore, whatever language you choose, it is unlikely you will be prepared for 'real-world' work unless you spend time working with it independently. For example, say you learn C#. You will learn the core language, but you will only use a small subset of the .Net framework, and probably not much if any of the Win32 API, etc. (similar themes if you learn language X and go on to develop for Linux/Mac/etc).
Finally, if it is not a requirement, make sure you take a machine organization class. (generally starts with transistor-level logic, then logic gates, ends with writing (small) programs in machine language and assembly). If you get through this class, you shouldn't have any problem with the rest of your degree. If you actually ENJOY the class, you'll have a great career. (you can make a lot of money whether you enjoy it or not. you'll like your work, and thereby life, a lot more if you enjoy it.)
%26lt;/rant%26gt;
%26lt;edit%26gt;
one last thing... If you are looking for a little obscurity/something to make you stand out from the crowd, learn an older language (like COBOL). You'd be surprised at just how much 25-30 year old code is still running out there (usually on mini's (and sometimes even mainframes) that are even older). You'd also be surprised at how much you can make if you can work with this stuff, especially if you can make it talk to newer systems.
%26lt;/edit%26gt;
Reply:1) Popular languages right now are Java, C++, and the .Net framework languages (C#, VB.net) - however they all have different applications w/in the industry
2) As long as you learn an object-oriented language (any of the aforementioned) you'll be good to pick up other languages.
3) Flash cards. The only reason you take math / physics for a degree in computer science is strictly for the problem solving logic. It's not because you'll definitely use calc, differentials, etc, it's because it teaches you how to THINK so that you can see a problem, and figure out how to get from Point A to point B to solve the problem.

You will almost certainly need a good understanding of SQL, regardless of what other languages you learn, if you want to be a successful programmer.
Generally speaking, you do not have to be good at math in order to do well in programming. You do need to have a logical mind, and you do need to be able to break problems down into their basic parts, and you do need a general knowledge of basic mathematical ideas and geometric rules, but on the whole, most programming with higher-level languages involves single-variable linear math, the kind they taught you in junior high school.

Generally speaking, you do not have to be good at math in order to do well in programming. You do need to have a logical mind, and you do need to be able to break problems down into their basic parts, and you do need a general knowledge of basic mathematical ideas and geometric rules, but on the whole, most programming with higher-level languages involves single-variable linear math, the kind they taught you in junior high school.

Reply:Java is a pretty good hot topic right now among employers. What math are you currently taking?
I have just passed 10th grd, i want to pursue a career in computer science suggest exams,courses & universitys
In my junior year i will be taking the following computer science courses: visual Basic 1, Visual Basic 2, Advanced web page design 1, Advanced web page design 2, Intro to computer science-Java. These are pretty much all the courses that my school offers. There is an AP computer science course that i plan to take in my senior year
I have just passed 10th grd, i want to pursue a career in computer science suggest exams,courses %26amp; universitys
try talking to your counselor, he will definitely know what you should be doing.
go to collegeboard.com
there is a section where you can pick what you want your major to be, and it gives you a bunch of schools that have it. you can even specify what you want, like size, cost, etc...
Reply:If you look at any college website, see the required courses and try to prepare based on that. Computer sci is all about math! Good luck.
Reply:go 2 carnegie mellon U...great college for computer science
i strongly recommmend it
Reply:See if your school offers any computer repair... (this isnt a huge carrer so i doubt they would but it doesnt hurt to ask...) and besides that, the graphic design classes are a good start, and lots of fun! and if theres a intro to computer science, then theres a good chance they will have computer science level 1 and all that... i suggest for your senior year, if you really want this, try taking all the rest of the computer science classes... it will give you lots of expierence, which would give you a better chance of a job! good luck

Study graduate in computer science in the usa?
Hi all,
I am from Nepal. I want to sudy computer science (undergraduate) in the USA in 2007. I have found many universities but application deadlines are over for this year.
Can anybody find a university which accepts application till oct.?
Thank you
Study graduate in computer science in the usa?
As an international student, you need to adhere to deadlines since the visa process takes a couple of months. Some universities allow students to apply for the spring semester, which usually starts in January. So concentrate now on applying for the spring.
Good luck!
Reply:You will find several Universities with October deadlines for the Winter or Spring Semester. If you have not yet given your SAT and TOEFL exams, register immediately at www.collegeboard.org and www.toefl.org and begin the application process.

What computer science colleges should I apply to?
GPA: 3.86 weighted (a little higher with junior GPA)
SAT: 2010 - CR: 660 Math: 700 W: 650
SAT2s: 650 Math Level 1 670 Chemistry 790 Physics 800 Math Level 2 (Would my first two harm me a lot?)
Courses next year:
AP - Calc BC, Govt., Micro, Physics C, Bio
College Level (Syracuse University) - English, French, Accounting
Extracurricular/Other:
Competing on Mathletes (4 years) and Science Olympiad (2 years) teams, but no officer positions. (Also participated for two years in a japanese club)
100+ Hours of community service with an outside orchestra. Played in NYSSMA (graded music solos) not in All State or anything because I wasn't part of the school orchestra.
I'm currently attending Carnegie Mellon's precollege program.
What computer science colleges should I apply to?
When I was reading your scores and the subject title, the first college that came to me was CMU. Your scores are definately decent enough to get into Carnegie Mellon. I think your scores are above avg, maybe you can even shoot for MIT. CMU is more realistic to get accepted into. Your scores can also get you into Renssesalaer Polytech Inst (RPI) and Cornell.
These 3 schools (CMU, RPI and Cornell) have very good recruiting and coop programs too.
Good luck!

Reply:Management is always good,
CS is only good if combined with other disciplines.
Reply:Writing and English. If you already have computer classes and a certificate, then I would add to my skills and knowledge by first learning how to speak and write more clearly and also by taking management classes.
Reply:Management because the market is flooded with computer science majors.

What is an intro computer science course like?
I'm starting my major in computer science...and I'm wondering what the first course will be like?
It's called CS 2XX for Computer Science Majors
Will it be really easy? Really hard? Or somewhere in between?
I don't really have much experience ...I'm a n00b
What is an intro computer science course like?
Intro in Computer Science isn't difficult even for someone who has never programmed before.
You'll be introduced to the basic programming languages such as C++ and Java. Many schools are changing their languages from C++ to Java but either way you'll learn both in your Major. Also, in the introduction, you might learn what you can do in life with your major but it all depends.
Again if you have never experienced programming before, don't sweat it. These intro classes were designed to teach those who had never touch a programming language yet.
Later on you'll tackle harder programming projects but as long as you do well in the basic programming classes, you'll be fine.
To be extra ready for Computer Science, you should have taken lots of Math and Science (at least 3-4 years) in high school and pass all of them.
Reply:I'm a Computer Science sophomore. The first course is introduction to programming. It's programming in java, making simple math-related problems, like creating random numbers and sorting them.
It's very easy and relies on logic, will probably show u if ur gonna like ur specialty, thou u do need to spend some time on a pc writing programs.
It may be in C++ instead of Java, doesnt matter.

there's going to be a lot of variation depending on how the dean of your particular school runs his program. At the 200 level it's not likely to be so basic as "this is your keyboard, this is your printer, here's how you print things" and the ACTUAL coding and operation of these devices is much more complex anyway.
Expect math and problem solving skills to be heavily involved as you start doing basic programming. You probably won't have to do header files and such, and pointers are probably going to be out of the question in your first semester. You'll probably work your way through and up to object oriented programming (creating and programming "packets" of information by which you can easily repeat segments of code). I'd expect to start with Java, although C or C++ are also options. whichever you don't cover first, you will move into at some point. Don't worry, intro shouldn't be too hard.
Reply:Extremely variable depending on what school you are going to. They probably have a web site. You could email your professor and ask for a syllabus. They don't mind that kind of stuff and in fact appreciate a student who actually gives a hoot.
Reply:It should be pretty easy (if you know things about computers).
it probably just talks about the computer parts, (Processor, RAM, Monitor, Keyboard) and how they each work. it might go into some of what makes up the internet, e-mail.
Maybe even printers and how they work. It should be pretty basic.
The toughest part I remember from my intro course was converting numbers from binary to hexadecimal! Look up hexadecimal on the internet and you well get an idea.

Can i go to school for computer science and still be a firefighter?
I mean if i still want to study computer technology in college but i also want to become a firefighter, would that be possibe. Would i be able to do both at the same time.
Can i go to school for computer science and still be a firefighter?
Yes. Once you complete FF training/probation and become a full fledged FF you will have more free time to do what you want. Make sure you devote all of your time initally on your probationary period. Most career FD's work shift work where you are on duty for 24 hrs, and then off for 48 hrs. The 48 off should give you plenty of time to pursue school. Most professors are happy to work with your schedule on the days when you are at work and can't make class. Also, down time at the firehouse is a good time to hit the books for school.
Reply:Yes most fire departments dont care what college degree you have acuired. if you become a paramedic you'll get hired at almost any fire station you want. many firefighters have another side job, so you could easily do computer science related business on the side. also if you choose to do computer science as your major job you should consider becoming a volunteer firefighter, which obviously don't get paid but they still have the exciting life and professionalism.

OK, well my dad thinks computer science is the best job for me, but i prefer psychology so whats better?
i'm really good with computers and i like working with people. i wanted to take my career in the psychology field maybe a family psychologist. i didn't do so much research on computer science, because i did not intending on doing it untill my dad mentioned it, but if you think i should do it tell me something about it if not...oh well. i really need help deciding before college starts.
OK, well my dad thinks computer science is the best job for me, but i prefer psychology so whats better?
Declaring a major isn't always a good idea when starting college and so you should not be so focused on it. Rather consider taking courses that will prepare you to declare your major in line with your interests.
For both professions you need to be good at math and you should have a good background in some industry other then your discipline because it will prepare you better for your profession. Psychologists work with people with social issues and so knowledge about society or business is strongly encouraged.
Information technology is no longer an isolated profession, every discipline now incorporates technology into the profession either through online programs, data analysis, introduction of new materials and programs. Consequently whether the industry is psychology or finance individuals with a degree in information technology need to also be literate in another discipline. Why not psychology?
Further having a degree in psychology and a masters in counseling, I have had the luxury of working as a project manager in finance, an educator, a business manager and now an executive coach and at one time I was the technology leader for my team.
Keep an open mind.

Reply:Start out as a double major,and see which one you get better grades in. If you really want to be a psychologist or a counselor, you will have to maintain an excellent gpa, since grad school psych programs are very competitive and very expensive. It never hurts to have a fallback either, and you may find yourself working in computers to put yourself through your PhD program if your psych grades are just "good" instead of "stellar." Who knows, with the advances in computer science, maybe you'll become a computer or robot psychologist and have HAL from 2001 and Marvin the paranoid android from Hitchhiker's Guide on your couch.
Reply:Well, if your dad's opinion really carries that much weight, and it should then consider a compromise. You could major in Psychology and do a minor in computer science or information systems technology. In reality, all kinds of professionals need more than user level computer knowledge. Justify it this way.... Dad, if I wanted to start my own practice, I would need to have the knowledge and understanding to set up a network in my office, or set up the applications my staff would need to run my office ans so on. Besides, a lot of psychologists these days are also educated in computer science. Look at the doctors who study the mind and thought processes. A lot of these studies led to the way computers operate and function. The two field are a lot more closely related than you realize. You could easily make the pitch to your dad that you should at least do a minor in a developmental computer related area such as systems design, programming or computer science in general.
Reply:The only thing with Psych is you won't be able to get many jobs unless you get AT LEASt your Masters if not Doctorate. With computer science, you could drop out halfway through and still get a good job.
2 very different career choices, I suggest taking courses in both of them to help you decide, and don't be afraid to switch majors if the time comes.
Reply:your dads right, there's a lot more job opportunity out there and higher paid positions for computer science. Unless u plan on going through med school and getting ur doctorate in psychology then i wouldn't suggest majoring in it. there's hardly any jobs in that field for people with only a bachelors degree.
plus psychology in high school is way more fun than it is in college, its boring, hard and i seriously hated taking it.
Reply:A Psychologist is a Doctor of Pschology. They get paid EXTREMELY well and can work in many different fields.
One of the most well paid would be industrial/organizational pschologists which make 6 figure salaries.
Keep in mind thats 12 years+ of school but it pays for itself once you get out.
Computer Science Bachelors degree will get you a job making 40-60k a year depending on where you live.
Reply:Depends on what you are into.
Computer science tends to be lots of math and algorhythms.
A similar major is Computer information systems or sometimes called Management Information systems. It's a mix of business and computers, but tends to require less hard core math. In other words, you are learning to solve business problems through the use of technology.
I was a computer information systems major and I have been working professionally in this line of work for about 12 years now. Initially, I started out just doing programming. Then you start doing more analysis work. Then you can become a project manager and eventually a manager. I really don't have my hands in the code anymore, but I meet with business people to discuss and define their needs. Then I make recommendations. If a project is funded, I put together a plan for it.
You should do what you enjoy doing because you are going to be doing it for a long time. I think you might see more immediate income with a computer related major. However, if you are good, you may do very well financially with a psychology degree.
Reply:Sounds cliched, but follow your passion
Reply:Do what you will enjoy and make you happy.
Reply:Why don't you go for both. Major in Psych and minor in Computer Science.
My son did this only he went for Physics and computer science. It made us both happy because I don't worry knowing he has something to fall back on.
Many Psych majors work for social services and are Clinical Psychologists for schools too. Do what makes YOU feel fulfilled!
Reply:There are a lot more job opportunities in computer science than there are in psychology (your only option in psychology is to be a teacher). Most people who take psychology usually wind up as waiters or cashiers, or some other low end customer service job, because there just isn't enough jobs available in that field. Sometimes the lucky ones will end up as teachers or professors, but if you are looking to make money, with decent job stability, you would be better off going with computer science....But what you can do is major in computer science and then minor in Psychology, which will allow you to study both and find a decent job when you graduate.
Reply:I would go for C.S. Earning potential is higher with less education. It is a growing field, and would allow you a vast number of opportunities.
To come close to making a decent living with psychology you need a masters degree

A similar major is Computer information systems or sometimes called Management Information systems. It's a mix of business and computers, but tends to require less hard core math. In other words, you are learning to solve business problems through the use of technology.
I was a computer information systems major and I have been working professionally in this line of work for about 12 years now. Initially, I started out just doing programming. Then you start doing more analysis work. Then you can become a project manager and eventually a manager. I really don't have my hands in the code anymore, but I meet with business people to discuss and define their needs. Then I make recommendations. If a project is funded, I put together a plan for it.
You should do what you enjoy doing because you are going to be doing it for a long time. I think you might see more immediate income with a computer related major. However, if you are good, you may do very well financially with a psychology degree.
Reply:Sounds cliched, but follow your passion
Reply:Do what you will enjoy and make you happy.
Reply:Why don't you go for both. Major in Psych and minor in Computer Science.
My son did this only he went for Physics and computer science. It made us both happy because I don't worry knowing he has something to fall back on.
Many Psych majors work for social services and are Clinical Psychologists for schools too. Do what makes YOU feel fulfilled!
Reply:There are a lot more job opportunities in computer science than there are in psychology (your only option in psychology is to be a teacher). Most people who take psychology usually wind up as waiters or cashiers, or some other low end customer service job, because there just isn't enough jobs available in that field. Sometimes the lucky ones will end up as teachers or professors, but if you are looking to make money, with decent job stability, you would be better off going with computer science....But what you can do is major in computer science and then minor in Psychology, which will allow you to study both and find a decent job when you graduate.
Reply:I would go for C.S. Earning potential is higher with less education. It is a growing field, and would allow you a vast number of opportunities.
To come close to making a decent living with psychology you need a masters degree

What is the difference IT,IMIS and Computer science?
I would like to know the difference between Information technology(IT),Institute for Management of Information systems(IMIS) and Computer science.
What is the difference IT,IMIS and Computer science?
COMPUTER SCIENCE - The systematic study of computing systems and computation. The body of knowledge resulting from this discipline contains theories for understanding computing systems and methods; design methodology, algorithms, and tools; methods for the testing of concepts; methods of analysis and verification; and knowledge representation and implementation.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - Information Technology is more concerned with the application of computing, and the tools that are used in application.
MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS - a business program that focuses on the applications and implications of computing in the business domain. IS students take the Business core and approach computing from the perspective of a manager in the business domain.
--------------------------------------...
I remember my professor saying this:
Computer Science students created the bulb
Information Technology students turns the bulb on and off
Management of IS students observes the bulb

Should i major in marketing or computer science?
can you tell me a little about those two majors ONLY IF YOU HAVE MAJORED IN THEM OR ARE CURRENTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
computer science sounds so difficult, and i really can't risk flunking out of college. honestly, i'm kind of a stupid person, so if it is hard, i'm screwed.
marketing sounds pretty easy.
i picked these two because i've read they are jobs that pay big money after you graduate. I would like the major in computer science over marketing, but only if i am sure i can do it without struggling in school.
Should i major in marketing or computer science?
Computer science is NOT for people who are just looking for a job that will pay big money. YOU HAVE TO ENJOY IT. It's a LOT of work, and it's very frustrating. Yes, you can make quite a lot of money, but you have to do quite a bit of work, with long, long hours (60-80 hour work weeks).
Keep in mind, too, that with computer science, you're only going to make a lot of money if you're actually really good at it. If you're not, you might wind up at, say, a hospital making $30,000 a year. It's not worth it to go through with it if you're no good.
On a side note, do you know what computer science entails? Do you know anything about programming? There are many, many people who go into it thinking that it's just using computers, using programs. But that's not what you'll be doing. You'll be MAKING those programs. And it can be quite difficult. That's why so many people drop out-- they go into it without really knowing what it's all about.
My advice to you would be to take introductory courses in both subjects and figure out what works best for you. Even though you say you're kind of stupid, you may find out that you're actually a computer whiz and you never knew it. Likewise, you may find yourself a marketing genius. You don't really have to make the decision now, so don't. Take the time to figure out what you're good at and go from there.
Sorry if I came across as overly negative on computer science, but like I said, it's not for everybody. I don't want you to get into it and then find out you don't like it or you're not good at it. Just take a class and find out for yourself!
Good luck with your decision! :-)
Reply:No easy jobs pay big money after graduation. The money is usually in line with what is expected of you. You really need to find an area in which you want to work, not one which you think will pay a lot, because the chances of your not doing it well and not getting paid at all are significant if you are only in it for the money.
The pros and cons of the majors you are talking about. Obviously, some people have done very well with computer science. However, there seem to be fewer and fewer technical jobs in this field in the U.S.; many of them have gone overseas. That means that the field is highly competitive, and only the strong survive. I know people who have done very well, and others who are chronically unemployed. You really need to have a strong aptitude for the field to do well, and your concerns about difficulty indicate that you don't think this comes naturally to you. I'd be concerned.
Marketing does not usually include all of the technical detail of computer science, but is not all that easy as a major. For one thing, you will need to take math, accounting, and finance courses to get any degree in business; I find that we have a lot of students switching to things like communications because they can't cut it. The upside is that there are a lot of jobs in marketing. The difficult part is that these jobs differ a lot from one another, and the ones which appeal to many students are not the ones which pay well. Yes, I have the occasional student who gets a highly-paid sales job (and they have to work very hard for that money), but I also have a lot of students going into fields like advertising and P.R. which pay almost nothing. Starting salaries are often far less than what beginning teachers are paid, and people are always complaining about that. And they are working against constant deadlines, so the jobs tend to be very stressful.
Reply:Go for marketing unless you'd like a life filled with stress, a VERY UNSTABLE job market, little money, and working side by side with stupid smelly unqualified Indians.
Reply:You'll make much more right out of college with a computer science degree. In the neighborhood of six figures. You'll be stuc coding and taking order from people about though.
Marketing is a dog eat dog field. If you can handle that, you can make alot in marketing. Be prepared to pay your dues though and brown nose quite a bit.
Reply:well at least you are honest. the good news is.. it really doesn't matter. you can do whatever you want - as there's always graduate school!
in all seriousness, your bachelor's degree over time will be just that, a requisite degree to take the next step in your life. it's not the last decision you will ever make, and in fact why even feel you need to choose your major now?
take a few classes in different subjects to see what appeals to you and know that whatever you take will have its challenges and its fun aspects.
no degree will guarantee you success, or failure. it's all up to you to make your life happen...
so that's the longwinded philosophical answer.
the short of it is, don't be afraid of failure, or of changing your mind. you may even end up majoring or working in a totally different area than whatever you see now.
you can get a degree in marketing and also take some CS courses to fill your skill set out, or vice versa.
you can get a master's in either.
you can get a dual major, or find a program that allows you to blend the aspects you like
many options!
Reply:As a former comp sci major (now chemistry) I can tell you that good comp sci programs tend to be highly competitive and very hard work. High income is by no means guaranteed--I have a friend who graduated from a nationally-known (within top 20 in the nation for comp sci programs) school with honors who's stuck in the $30k range doing debugging (deathly dull, if you're wondering).
The course of study involves a great deal of math and usually a more rigorous base in the physical sciences than a liberal arts degree.
If you don't have EXCELLENT math skills and it's not something you love, don't do it.

Is it too late for a 46 years old with master in computer science to go to nursing school? Any suggestions?
I have been working as a computer programmer for 12 years and stay at home mom for four yerars. I am thinking about going to an accelerated nursing progam. Do you know if the age would be an issue? Any suggestions?
Is it too late for a 46 years old with master in computer science to go to nursing school? Any suggestions?
Definetely go for it! With your credentials, I dont see ANY reason why your age would be an issue. You will be done in as little as 1 year something. And you are not even that old!
I have seen people in their fifties attending college, and have a great deal of respect for them.
Good luck!
Reply:See!for Education [and Marriage]the AGE is NO issue at all.
And don't ask "how."You just practice.
Reply:Nope, never too late. I say if you want to do it, go for it! I'm in a BSN nursing program and while most of us are in our 20s, there are some who are older. If you want to do it, don't let age stop you. :o)
Best of luck to you!
Reply:It's never too late. Be sure to understand the program and how long it will take. Nursing programs can be difficult to get into due to a lack of teachers. I'm older and just finishing grad school, so definitely don't be concerned about age. Most of my classes had older students making changes.
Reply:I'm currently a nursing student and in the BSN nursing program. Age is not an issue. About 3 of my classmates out of 38 students are over 40 and they seem not to be struggling in the class. Although at an accelerated nursing program, the average age is usually much older than in a BSN program and you will find more people around your age. I have met many nursing students in there 20s, 30s, 40s, and even one lady in her 50s and they are generally the nicest people in the program. So don't worry, there are plenty of people who go back to school for nursing. It's a great profession. You should definitely go for it.
Reply:If you wait will you be any younger in a few years? Go for it.
Reply:I think that as long as you are trying to better yourself then age shouldn't be an issue, Good luck
Reply:For me, age is never an issue if youn want to go to nursing school because, it's not the age that matters but your interest in getting to your goal. If your heart says it's what you want then why not? soit's never too late as long as you want to be a nurse.capabilities and abilities of a person doesn't stop when he gets to 46 so please go for it.

What is a demand queue in computer science?
What is a demand queue in computer science?
What is a demand queue in computer science?
theres a lot of demand in computer science....computer has become the basis of almost all jobs....from marketing to hotel management...everywhere computers are handy...so u need engineers to solve their problems and make programs for them...so theres no doubt about its demand...
Reply:I could cheat and look this up, but I'd rather guess.
My guess is that a demand queue would be a list of pending operations from the processes running on a machine. A processor can only perform one operation at a time, but it does this really fast. Modern processors can perform billions of operations per second, but that is still a limit.
So on a system with a 1GHz processor, the demand queue would probably be much larger than it would be on a system running the same processes with a 3GHz processor.

Work hours for someone with a computer science degree?
what kind of jobs/hours would my ex get with a computer science degree? I know he had a job where people brought in their computer and would fix the problem with them.Would the job have odd hours and consume most of his time or would he have time for a social and family life?
Work hours for someone with a computer science degree?
Computer programming jobs are pretty much 9-5 type jobs. Regular hours from Monday to Friday. The nice things about programming though is it offers flexibility and most companies have flextime schedules for their employees which means they can arrange 3 day weekends by working 4 ten hour days a week. They also sometimes allow their employees to work from home (all you need is an internet connection and a computer).
Increasingly, there are also freelance computer jobs. So the programmer picks his jobs. Basically, he's a contractor...
The short answer and the one you are probably looking for though is, "Yes, he'll have time for a social and family life."
In fact, more so that a lot of jobs out there. Of course, with that said, there are exceptions to the rule. Some jobs, especially those with startups might require long hours or with lots of travel.

I am a Computer Science graduate.Which language should I learn to work as a programmer?
I want to upgrade my skills because I am not familier with the latest computer languages.plz suggest a good course in programming n the college too.
I am a Computer Science graduate.Which language should I learn to work as a programmer?
Along with English, make sure you know java.
Reply:I think it depends on the company where you work; they're usually adaptable to what you've learned.
C++ and Java are the major languages being taught, but in computational linguistics, where I've taken classes, Python/Lisp seems to be a popular choice. If you're in college, I can't imagine that any language that you've worked with extensively, besides Basic or HTML, would be "dead" yet.
Intro to programming/second semester courses and CS department courses sound like your best bet, and you might stumble upon a language that you really like. The first two should give you a good guage as to where you are relative to where people teach.
Here at the University of Michigan, the engineering department offers Engin 101 as the introductory course: MATLAB and C++. EECS 280 is essentially the follow-up, which focuses on C++ but in a more advanced manner. EECS 281 follows that, and the rest of the department opens up after 281.

You generally have to take 1 year of science for a BS degree, but it can be any set of science courses in a major such as computers. Biology, Botony, Observationals Astronomy, Oceanography, etc.

Can a core Arts Inclined Student Study Computer Science?
I used to like arts, and I'm very good in creation %26amp; drawing but as time went on and I got out of secondary school, I attended a computer Institute, to my utmost surprise I found computing more intresting.
I still love arts but find computer more intresting, the problem I have now is, in my secondary school days I never attended a lesson in Physics or Chemistry, which are the core subjects for computer science and I not even good in maths, I'm in a fix right now cos I got admission to read English but I planning to drop the admission so any body with a useful information should help me out!!!
Can a core Arts Inclined Student Study Computer Science?
Yes anyone is ok to study computer science,starting by learning computing.
Reply:It would fullfill some science credits at some colleges, I would imagine.
It also does go hand in hand with Arts majors, seeing as how a lot of design is done on computers.
Reply:no its not because even the students of commerce get computer science as a subject so why dnt u go 4 NIIT.My friend is also doinf a course from NIIT and passed class Xll with Arts

would it make sense to go back and get bachelor's in computer science after I already have bachelor's in MIS?? Or should I just go ahead and get an MBA or masters in MIS??
Would it make sense to go back and get bachelor computer science after I get mis degree?
You are on a IT management track. Don't get into technical stuff. The MBA is a better choice or specialization in say the medical IT field or Network Security. Remember, don't do anything that a computer can or will be able to do in the near future, or anything that can be outsourced.

Hi, i'm majoring in Life Sciences (Biology) at Uni, and i'm thinking of taking minor in a Computing field. They provide only Computer Science and Information System for minoring. So i'm wondering which one, Computer Sciences or Information Systems would be better to help my Biology major?
Computer science or Information system minor to help Bio major?
Information Systems.
Computer Science has more to do with programming and such. Information systems is more about using software tools effectively. The latter is more likely of benefit to a biologist.
Reply:If you can, do both. Otherwise, talk to an academic counselor at your school. Good luck.

What do you advice as masters for a computer science student in Nigeria?
We all know that computer sceince as a course is not the total way forward in Nigeria right now. So Thinking masters in technology or commercial but not programming
What do you advice as masters for a computer science student in Nigeria?
Move to India and then an American company will give you a job.

Should I take computer science or software engineering?
It seems to be all the colleges teach "computer science" but none of them really teach "software engineering". Now I want to do software engineering but I hear computer sciences has some elements of software engineering.. but tends to focus more on the theoreticaland mathematical aspects of computers and programming, while software engineering is just all about creating software and having a deeper understanding of the whole software development process. Which is what I want to do... Can some one please explain to me the diffference between Computer science and software engineering and if I should just take computer science or keep looking for a college that caters directly to just software engineering.
Should I take computer science or software engineering?
Software engineering is a branch of computer science. You can get an undergraduate degree in computer science, then get a masters in software engineering.
Reply:Software engineering is the place to be now and in the future. However most Universities do not offer a Software engineering degree. The few that do usually have it as part of a Computer Science Degree(CS) or Computer Information Systems(CIS) Degree. Tarlrton State University in Killeen Texas has such a degree under its CIS degree.
Reply:i would say go for software engineering
Reply:I suggest you look into a sw engineering program at a university. Preferably with a good cooperative education program. I took comp sci in college and I also wanted to build software after graduation. After 4 years, I only had one semester worth of real sw engr experience. Everything I learned, and am now using for my job was from real world experience. Who has time to waste 4 years on comp sci when you forget almost all of it after 1 year anyway?
Reply:Computer science is at, best, a legacy of a time 10 years ago when people "knew about computers". The discipline has fragmented so much I`m surprised that most colleges and universities aren`t providing more specialised entry level courses. It`s like engineering 100 years ago. Why learn how to build bridges and trains when you want to design ships? Take the software engineering course, you will be better qualified for what you actually want to do.

How often do engineers use computer science???
I'm in high school(junior) and i am taking computer science pre-ap ( B average), would another year be necessary if i plan to major in engineering physics???
How often do engineers use computer science???
Yeah, i'm a mechanical engineer right now and I thought i was done with computer science, but almost all of my classes require pretty good programming knowledge and I actually have to do lots of homework and projects with Matlab and similar programs. You'll most likely need a strong base for any kind of engineering.
Reply:I'd stick with it. At university you'll have to do some computor science subjects anyhow, doing it now will make it easier then. Whether or not you use those skills at work depends on the job, however having programming ability is a useful skill to have up your sleeve.

Does computer science count as a math for colleges?
I do not want to take calculus or statistics. I have 3 years of math which is the graduation requirement. For colleges, what do they see computer science as? a math? business?

some colleges accept it but it deppends on what level u are, besides some colleges would need more than a computer science course. take a hardcore course like trigonometry, calculus or anything like that!
Reply:no, they see it as a technology course
Reply:business or rather money machine
Reply:Depends on the college. The college's website should have information about that, or you can always call the math department office to find out. Many colleges have actual computer science departments, so the computer science course may not count as a math course.

Should I do an Acting BFA major or a Computer Science BS major in college?
I'm having a really hard time deciding. Please help if you can.
I am passionate and experienced with both areas. I've worked with my dad (systems engineer) and I've been in many high school, community, and other plays and have an interest in film acting (acting since 7, film and theater experience) and a lifetime contract with John Robert Powers Modeling and Acting Agency.
They're both dear to my heart and When I think of Acting, I want to do nothing else. When I think of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, I'm so excited to start...
but I don't know if they will let me double major in such a diverse double-major.
I need advice.
Should I do an Acting BFA major or a Computer Science BS major in college?
If you can do both...but do it in Southern California or New York, so you can get a "real agent" and audition for "real" acting roles.
Having a job to pay the bills while you pursue your acting is a good idea.
Hate to burst your bubble , but
John Robert Powers Modeling and Acting Agency
is not going to get you anywhere in the acting Biz.
You need a real agent and the JRP agency is only in the business of making money off "workshops" and headshots...blah , blah..
A real talent agent only charges 10 % for their services AFTER and only after- they "Book" a job for you.
Check out www.sag.org to find an agent
Good luck and go with your passion(s) $ and happiness will follow

What is a definition of "users" in computer science?
What is a definition of "users" in computer science?
Are there any synonyms for word "user" in computer science?
What is a definition of "users" in computer science?
A user is what it sounds like, a person using the product that you offer.
Reply:A user is one who connects to a computer and uses its facilities, its resources, and its hardware.
In the formal sense, however, a user is defined by having an account on the computer. This account includes resource and security settings that the computer will apply to the user who "logs in" to that account. One definition of user, therefore, is a person who has logged in to an account.
Some computers allow you to connect without an account so that you can request a valid account. This means you have to log in to the computer without it knowing anything about you. Therefore you can talk about users and anonymous users. The latter are users (general sense of the word) who don't have a registered account yet, so have to use what is called an "anonymous" login.
In Windows, "anonymous" users are treated differently than other users. The class of users having a valid account is called "Validated Users" - meaning that the person having the account is logged in to the computer.
Therefore, to know what "users" means, you must specify the context in which you ask the question. If it is a practical question of the load placed on a computer by having some arbitrary number of different people using the computer's services at the same time, you can apply the loose definition.
If it is a security-related or accounting question (billing someone for actual resource consumption) then you have to apply the more restrictive definition. On the system that I manage, I have about 200 to 250 active users and a bunch of user accounts that are present for record-keeping only.

I have just passed 10th grd, i want to pursue a career in computer science suggest exams,courses & universitys
In my junior year i will be taking the following computer science courses: visual Basic 1, Visual Basic 2, Advanced web page design 1, Advanced web page design 2, Intro to computer science-Java. These are pretty much all the courses that my school offers. There is an AP computer science course that i plan to take in my senior year
I have just passed 10th grd, i want to pursue a career in computer science suggest exams,courses %26amp; universitys
Computer Science is very broad category. This could involve the study of fundamental concepts in computational logic, the lower levels of microprocessor design, various levels of programming or a wide range of computer related careers.
I would firstly suggest that you NOT take so many classes in high school narrowly focused on computer use/programming. To begin with, it is extremely unlikely that the teachers you encounter in high school will give assignments that are much like the real world uses of the programming languages. Second, taking classes in "web page design" are almost certainly NOT going to help you get into college -- and that best path to a job involving Computer Science will require you to plan to aim for college.
The AP Exam for is an interesting course. The way it is structured it probably most appropriate for students who wish to go on to study computer programming. If your high school has a good course geared toward the AB sequence you may want to meet with the instructor and find out the typical path that successful students take before and after the course. Based on the aggregate results for schools offering only the A sequence course (see link) I would have reservations recomending such a course to most high school students.

Which is HOTTER: computer engineering or computer science?
Hi!
I am planning to do my bachelor in computer engineering (I am good at maths too) but my inclination is towards software coding. Does doing computer engineering at BS and Computer Science at master level (MS) is better option than doing computer science at both the level.Or should I opt computer science itself for my BS.
Please tell me the quality job prospect in both the field (relatively)
TIA
Which is HOTTER: computer engineering or computer science?
Computer Science more likely tend to Theory part and less Research and Development. In computer science there is lot of Studying and less Software Development. More over the base which u need to form to enter in the industry is not enough in Computer Science.
on the other side if u opt for engineering you'll benefit from Strong base which "ENGINEERING" offers also in industry the value for Engineering students is high compared to comp Sci.
both needs equal amount of studying and reference.
Anyways if u r from India/Maharashtra/mamba
take it from me computer science is the worst field to choose coz there is no proper school, no Professor, no guidance, no nothing. u have to stand on your own.
Anyways best of luck.
Reply:what do you mean better? that is the problem with indian engineers they go for what better, not what they like to do or enjoy. Report It
Reply:I would DEFINATELY say computer ENGINEER. Why? Because you still have to go through the coding part of it in college. So, if you CAN program, the engineering degree offers more flexibility.
I've got a buddy who grew up poor. He graduated high school almost an alcoholic. Waited about 5 years then started a BS degree in computer engineering. Now he (exclusively) PROGRAMS for lockheed-martin and makes alot of money.
Reply:From my observation with people I know, computer science would be a better area. I just think with computer science you have more choices to go into. Personally I say a BS in computer science is sufficient. Most companies today hire base on experience, unfortunately. My brother has a computer information degree from a good school and have a hard time looking for a job. Good luck to you!
Reply:Both are excellent, growing fields that offer great opportunities for innovative workers. However, be aware that it is also the field that is most quickly being outsourced to low-wage workers in highly educated developing nations (India, China...), so you have to understand that you will be forced to compete for work with lower-paid competitors, at least for the present.
This is certainly not to say that there are no North American tech jobs to be had; it just means that you will have to work harder and be more valuable to succeed.
Reply:which is hotter - depends on how good or bad the cooling fan is!
Reply:Princetonreview.com has the best resources for that type of information. I spent hours looking up different job possibilites. Try there.
Reply:I think that you should go with computer science if you have skill in computer software but always remember to go with the mind you have and not others because you should achieve the things in life that you want and not what ohters want you to achieve.

I'm going to pursue on Computer Science/Engineering. What high school courses should I take?
I'm a high school junior. Today we are ask to pick our class for next year.
After discussing with guidance, here are the picks:
-Pre-Calculus
-English
-AP Chemistry
-Computer Science
-Psychics
-Government
-Economics
Do you think these classes will help me in my future career?
If no, which other classes do you recommend?
I have taken Chemistry, should I take AP Chemistry?
I'm going to pursue on Computer Science/Engineering. What high school courses should I take?
You're taking the right sort of classes for the major that you want. If you can handle AP Chem, I would have you take it. It will certainly help re: college admission in your field. And next year, if you can take another AP or even two, that'd be great. And next year, you'll be taking Calculus, right on track. Perfect.
I am a bit concerned - do you already have foreign language? Most universities require that you have at least two years of high school foreign language, so if you don't have this, or aren't already fluent in a second language, then you may want to check the websites and catalogues for the universities you are considering, to see if they do have a language requirement that they expect of applicants. Most require at least two years.
The other thing I want to check on is that you've taken a year of biology. Most CS and engineering programs want you to have at least a year of physics, chem, and bio. If you haven't taken bio, take it.
Otherwise, you're well on your way.
Reply:no need to take AP chem. Just take the AP test in the spring...
The best thing I can think for you to do, would be outside of school. Why don't you try to get an apprenticeship somewhere in your town dealing with this field. Experience is worth more than taking the class lecture notes... good luck!

Computer Info Systems or Computer Science?
I want to be a computer systems analyst but I don't know which major will help me achieve that. I keep hearing different things. What major would be best, Computer Information Systems or Computer Science? And would I need to minor or get any additional degrees with either? I really don't want to major in Computer Science so what other careers look promising with a CIS degree if not computer systems analyst?
Computer Info Systems or Computer Science?
Information systems, as an academic field, encompasses two broad areas: (1) acquisition, deployment, and management of information technology resources and services (the information systems function) and (2) development and evolution of infrastructure and systems for use in organization processes (system development).
The information systems function has a broad responsibility to develop, implement, and manage an infrastructure of information technology (computers and communications), data (both internal and external), and organization-wide systems. It has the responsibility to track new information technology and assist in incorporating it into the organization's strategy, planning, and practices. The function also supports departmental and individual information technology systems.
Computer science is a science with a primary focus of discovering new knowledge, with strong foundations in theory and selected application domains. This field is the basis for software engineering, just as chemistry forms the basis for chemical engineering or as physics forms the basis for electrical engineering. Examples include: theory of data structures, algorithms, programming languages, networks, operating systems, compilers, databases, architecture, artificial intelligence, robotics, and graphics.
So my answer would be Computer Information Systems.

But when it comes to Guardian, it's kinda low:

So I'm a bit confused... Is this a good university when it comes to Computer Science?
Is Cardiff University a good university when it comes to comes to computer science?
yes i have an aunt that has gone there and graduated from there and she went to get the same thing

What is the best place in Canada to find a job in the field of Computer Science?
I am a United States citizen, and I'm sick of it. It's pretty clear that our country is spiraling downward at an alarming rate. With the rate at which I'm losing my rights as an American, and the lack of control over the future course of our country, I would just as soon leave. So, I'm moving to Canada after I graduate. What I want to know is what the best city to move to is if I would like to pursue a career in computer technology. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
What is the best place in Canada to find a job in the field of Computer Science?
You should look at Toronto and Montreal. These two cities offer myriad opportunities in computer science since computer science ventures started by students at the University of Toronto and McGill usually stay close to the cities.
Best of luck to you.

Computer Science or computer Information system Or Double Major?
Hello experts!
I am confused right now as to which way to go. I am soon getting an associate degree in cs and i'd like to continue toward b. degree. I do like computer science, but I also would like to grasp the business application of it. So I still do not know where to go. Here are the options I am contemplating: BS computer science?
BA Computer Information System?
BA in economics/ BS computer Science?
BS Computer Science with minor in economics? Please help me I need a really good advice thank you
Computer Science or computer Information system Or Double Major?
I know your dilemma, I had to make the same decision years ago. I decided that I couldn't handle programming all day, every day so CS was not for me. The IS degree is much more flexible in the sense that you can get the same jobs that someone with a CS degree could get, plus you could choose to go the route working more on the business side.
Basically, if you want to do anything more business oriented than be a programmer/analyst then the CS degree wouldn't serve you as well as the IS degree.
For me, I went the technical route and changed to a technical school for my MCSE and CCNA certifications.
Good luck.
Reply:May I ask you Do you have passion in Economics and Computers?
If there is a passion in economics and computers then try to have a double major...if not choose only one... It's difficult to have a double major

How hard are the Computer Science courses at UIUC?
How hard are the Computer Science courses at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign?
How hard are the Computer Science courses at UIUC?
It is hard to answer such a vague question... but let me try.
First off, the UIUC CS department is ranked 5th in the entire country, bested only by MIT, CMU, Stanford, and UC Berkeley (all tied for #1). Therefore, you should expect to be challenged by the coursework and equally by the fellow students, many of whom were accepted by those esteemed institutions.
Secondly, all CS courses differ in their relative difficulties based on level (100-500 level), area (theory, architecture, systems, databases, etc.), and instructor. Some courses are primarily research project oriented, some are midterm/final, but most are a mix of homework, projects, and exams.
I would say, enter with the attitude that you will be challenged, but look at it as an experience. There will be frustrating hours and loss of sleep in any but the most basic CS courses. :) But if you make a significant effort, the professors and TA's will do their best to make sure you learn; which implies, they will also do their best to make sure you leave with the highest grade you work for.

What is the startting salary of a BS in computer science from San Jose State University?
how is the comp. science program of SJSU . if there is an option to choose between NDSU and SJSU . which one should i choose?
What is the startting salary of a BS in computer science from San Jose State University?
Both answers are good, but for a BS from SJSU, count on the lower end of the scale.
Reply:Around 45K.
Reply:SJSU has a decent CS program. Being in Silicon Valley, it has a great location advantage, which helps during job search. Starting salary after BS could be 70,000. SJSU is better than SJSU.
According to http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/salary a Software Engineer in San Jose with a min of BS degree makes a median of $66K plus.

I have BSc Degree in Computer Science but work experience in Mechanical?
Now I want to go back to Computer/ IT Industy and feel quite unsecured about it. I have good knowledge of mechanical production, quality control, ISO, maintainence, IT administration,. What are the relevent positions that I can seek and apply in the IT sector. What kind of companies would be able to absorb the candidate like me? Should I stick to mechanical field and seek for opportunities in mechanical field? If my career history has been irrelevant to my current situation how can I undercover my irrelevancy?
I have BSc Degree in Computer Science but work experience in Mechanical?
If your mechanical experience included the use of CAD, maybe you could look at a job as a CAD systems admin?
This type of role requires good IT knowledge and some experience of CAD software.

Does it help to have a math minor if i'm majoring in computer science?
i was thinking about minoring in math. i've noticed that alot of people in my computer science classes are math majors . . and I actually learned some of the topics in my computer science classes last semester in calc II .. and i really like math for some reason. do employers like for people to have some history with math?
Does it help to have a math minor if i'm majoring in computer science?
I think it would depend on your specialty in the computer field. Programming would be a good example of using a lot of math. If calculations need to be built into an application that would be a definate plus. Enterprise network engineering would also be a good career to have a mathematical background. If you like math check into the specialty careers to see what choices are available. One of them might really talk to you.
Good luck
Reply:If you are interested in becoming a very highly paid computer engineer, you would do well to stay with the math.
It is a job that sounds like it is right up your alley!
Reply:im a comp sys major but they give us the chance to dual with comp sci for a little extra hours, there's a bunch of math classes we have to take so maybe thats not such a bad idea
Reply:I think that Math is important full stop!
I think studying Math is important no matter what you're majoring in.
And btw no i'm not an idiot that adores math!
I'm more of a Chemistry geek!!!
:p

What kind of loop would you use in the Bubble Sort or Linear Search method in AP Computer Science A?
I had a quiz over it and I was absent the day we learned about it and I got a 0. Could anybody explain it? Computer Science is so confusing. I have a sucky teacher.
What kind of loop would you use in the Bubble Sort or Linear Search method in AP Computer Science A?
For a bubble sort, you use a set of for loops to keep running through the list comparing adjacent items, and then swapping them if necessary.
For a linear search, your just going through the list in sequence. So a 'for' loop would be the obvious choice. Start with the first item in the list and keep looking through the list one item at a time until you find the one you were looking for.
Check the following links for lots more information.
Reply:well i usually use the bubblicious loop i find it to be the best and it blows away all it's competation! as far as comp. science goes well what is that a computer that runs on test tubes and bubble bracetts?
