Just trying to get some opinions on what the best option for a minor would be to compliment my major in computer science? I am kinda drawn towards web design just because it seems to go hand and hand with computer science, but I am kinda thinking that a minor in management would be a better asset to a company that I would be trying to get hired at.
The options I have are: accounting, marketing, management, project management, human resource management, and web design.
Thanks =)
I have my own company in IT consulting and if you want to get into IT and make tons of money, then you should major in minor in accounting.
Accounting in school is the only thing on that list that you can’t teach yourself. There is NO reason you should major in web design if you’re a CS major. Web design classes will bore you and provide no challenge. I’m sure HTML, .NET and java are things you could easily teach yourself.
Make sure you’re not doing extra schooling for this minor. Graduate on time and get WORK EXPERIENCE.
Also the best paying IT applications are in financial systems. If you had an accounting degree, that would be amazing…
Management and project management will not be taken seriously by companies because you won’t have experience in this. Wait until you get experience and then get a PMP if you really like it.
