Physics FTW Joel Send a noteboard - 12/01/2011 05:34:33 AM
Note: The above was a pun.

So, I am trying to decide between a Comp Sci or Physics major - whichever I major in, I while minor in the other. I would rather do a CS major, but I have been told that employers don't much like to see a CS major, and see it as being merely a "computer nerd". So, those of you who have some experience in the field (hoping a decent amount), what say you on this topic?

P.S. My intended career is Software Engineering or some such thing.

My best friend has Physics degree and works in IT; I doubt very seriously he could've gotten a CS degree and worked in physics. ;)

I don't understand why you would major in physics when you know you want to work in CS. Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 01:56:48 PM 572 Views
Don't bother with physics, it's a waste of time for what you want to do. Macharius - 12/01/2011 02:09:30 PM 577 Views
I work for a high tech company and we hire a lot of software engineers random thoughts - 12/01/2011 02:23:31 PM 494 Views
Physics degrees are aimed at graduate work, and minors are rare in my experience Isaac - 12/01/2011 03:08:49 PM 580 Views

Clearly I wasn't paying close enough attention. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:59:42 PM 508 Views
Honestly, CS (major) and Math is a better option. jh - 12/01/2011 07:07:59 PM 551 Views
Choose Comp Sci! Sports_Gambler - 12/01/2011 09:57:13 PM 578 Views
How many physics majors do we have here not working in the field of physics? At least four. everynametaken - 13/01/2011 01:47:27 AM 525 Views
