Whats better to invest in: Computer science degree vs Buisness degree

[zombie]

Just get a business degree and certs.

You could look into networking too, Cisco CCNA cert/associate degree can get you 70k a year

and its really not that much math just in subnetting, its what Im doing currently

And I really hate math, that's why I picked this and you're pretty much guaranteed a job with the cert/degree

How long did it take you to get certified? What schools did you attend?

Is it possible to get a business degree in MBA and get certified in Cisco CCNA? Level of difficultly for a noob?

I'm still going it's 4 classes but you have to take them in different semesters so it'll take a year maybe a little more.

you might as well take other classes while you take them too so at the end of the year you'll have a degree

computer science is a limited degree that requires alot of math/

Bump.

Im looking a certifcation 5 day courses etc man they expensive as hell,

where do you guys gain yall certs from? Yall really be spending that much for them? The CCNA Cisco cert wants 3 stacks up front.....

All my certs were paid for by my employer. Share point, network+, Redhat admin, and Microsoft develpoer

my little brother started on the ccent he self studied, it's the easiest cisco cert to get but is not worth much by itself to employers but it made getting the ccna easier now he's a ccnp.

Comp Sci is more versatile than business imo

What makes you say it's more limited?

Shit I'm doin' ight on my computer science shit.

Absolutely nothing wrong with knowing about business tho.

You could do it either way, depending on what works.

1. Self-study computers, Formal-study business.

- or-

2. Self-study business, Formal-study computers.

Don't get it twisted though, there's IT jobs that would only hire someone with a related-degree.

If you hate math why are you even cosidering comp sci???? Truthfully, I could give a fuck about programming and all that stuff. It bores me so much. And a robot gonna be doing your job in like 2 years with comp sci

If any of you are even considering going to business school, read this book first. As Sion said, you don't need to goto business school to run a business. This book tells it all

When you say paid for, you mean to say you had zero knowledge and they paid you and taught you the skills to get cert.? Man where the hell did you find that job and whats the job called? lol

Much respect, Im thinking about doing the same. Fuck those classes, ill just wisen up myself and take the exam. How long did it take your lil bro to become a CCNP?

Tbh I knew business is "art major" status, I just didn't want to accept it lol

This is another thing too, a lot of cats are going into it thinking it can go into everything else. I'm tellin folks you don't need to go to business school to become an entrepreneur or do things in business. Unless cats are going into the hardcore meat and potatoes like finance and accounting. Business majors are oversaturated almost like how law degrees are (unless it's corporate finance). There's too many graduates and too few firms to hire everybody. The jobs are there but don't be surprised if you doing something else for a while until you get a job in the game.

Computer science is the future but you have to also remember that a lot of people going into it are going to oversaturate it in the longer term. I always felt the issue was that people went into general areas versus specific types in regards to their majors. It helps a lot more tho if you find what exactly it is you want to do with your life especially on a day to day basis. You gotta realize, there's no way around the math aspect of it in computer science. You'll have to do it at some point. If that bothers you then take time off to sit and ask yourself what you want out of life and where you want to go. If you really love it tho, you'll find tutors and teach yourself the math so you can go hard at it.

I say go into a concentrated area of computer science that you're interested in and minor in business so that you can learn the ins and outs of your industry on a business level. Don't get entranced by the "it's a great job lots of money !!" shit b/c you will get regulated reeeaaal quick. We live in what I call "Generation E" this is the era of the entrepreneur, nobody works the same job anymore for 30+ years, benefits/401ks and things like that is the norm, most people you know now have side businesses or have something on the side that they do. This is the era of the entrepreneur, remember that fam. What's going to be very important is the skillset you develop and how you use it.

Appreciated. I realize the investment i make right now will influnence my future. I wish i had more "yolo" in me though lol. And my dream to actually establish a buisness for artists to gain acknowledgement from modernized perspective ( social media, apps, etc). I really believe it can work and catch on. Thats why i look up to what Punch and Top Dawg is doing with music. But im thinking on a broader lane.

LOL dude been watching too much Terminator. For one that's computer engineering that deals with those kinds of machines using embedded systems. Two, where the hell are these robots going to come from, space? Or are people going to build them? Three, comp sci is more than coding. You can pretty much come in at any aspect of the project.

Before I graduated, I had interned at this consulting firm in Houston for the summer. It was pretty much analyzing data. I used Matlab mostly. I thought the shit was all high tech and what not. I'd bust my ass putting charts together and using R to make all sorts of graphs. Come to find out all I was doing was data mining the area to analyze spending habits to see what sales paper to include in the sunday newspaper. If a certain area didn't shop at say bestbuy a whole lot, they'd get a condensed version of their weekly ad. Shit paid well for an internship, it was a division of reynolds & reynolds if I remember correctly.

All my certs were paid for by my employer. Share point, network+, Redhat admin, and Microsoft develpoer

If you get on with a company that has a technology division that's about anything; they'll have a training fund. For sharepoint, they came to me and said a dude was retiring. We need you to pick up that area for us. Get with finance and pic your days, the training is in Washington. Redhat administration is just what they want everyone to have, so that was on sight.

Awesome stuff, good post. What did you graduate with? what degree? Im sure the compnay hired you based on your resume right? only asking because i know some peolple get on based on connections, rare opportunities with new companies, etc.
