Would it bad for me to major in computer science if I dont know much about computers?

Im not a computer wiz but i want to learn more about it, so would this be a bad idea?

Go for it! I majored in computer science (and yeah, I was 1 of like 4 girls in my whole school who did the same thing). When I was in high school, I didn't know very much about computers at all. Here's how to go about it:





As a freshman, start off taking an introductory programming class and a seminar class on different computer science topics (you just go and listen to people lecture about their work). If you enjoy your programming class, try to get a summer internship or research fellowship at a company where you can get some experience programming. As a sophomore, take a more advanced programming class and maybe a compiler class. You can follow the classes outlined at your school for earning a B.S. degree in Computer Science. There are many areas you can focus on. I did computational and neural systems (aka artificial intelligence), but I also did some coursework on computer graphics.





If you have free time, start doing your own projects now! You can buy a domain name and set up a blog. Once you have that running, learn how to set up a RSS feed for it. Maybe download some Yahoo! widgets and run through the Yahoo! widgets tutorial at http://widgets.yahoo.com/workshop/ to see if you can build your own. There are tons of people online that you can ask if you have questions, so just try it out and see how it goes!





Once you get out of school, you can do loads of interesting work! Want to program the next Finding Nemo movie at Pixar? Or build Playstation 4 at Sony? Maybe you could build the next generation of Yahoo! Answers. ;)

Reply:Not at all. You'd just start with basic classes and work your way up. If you're interested in it, go for it.

Reply:No, thats what school is for. You cant be a wiz till You learn how.The important thing is that You want to.
Reply:That's why you are going to college, right?





The main question is "Do you like computers"?
