whats the better degree to gain?
also how much math does computer science really involve?
Answer
The thing I always tell people interested in Computer Science is that they need to discover not if computer science is a good major for them but if they are the right person for computer science. Programmers are born and not made. All the computer programming courses in the world will not make you any good at it if it is not your gifting and calling. Many eager CS majors take their first few programming courses and realize that this is not what they expected while others just take to it like a duck to water. If you find yourself struggling you can always switch majors into Info Sys or another IT area that does not require programming. Remember that at most 4 year schools you can change majors out to the end of your second year with very few credits or time lost. Being able to do well at CS has nothing to do with intelligence. Many of the people I know that were not successful in Programming are very successful in other fields.
Generally if you have not done well at math you will have a more difficult time in CS. Part of it is logic and part of it is math. Here are some eaxamples of programming projects that would directly involve math.
One of my friends worked on a team that wrote the code long ago that enabled military airplanes to land on an aircraft carrier automatically if the pilot was injured and could not land the plane manually. You can imagine the complexity that would take into account all the variables of speed and elevation and wind and give the plane's systems input moment by moment to land itself safely on the pitching deck of an aircraft carrier. On the simpler side of things I also know the developer who wrote the code for a large auto oil change chain. When you went in they would change your oil and filter, charge your credit card and track all your information like the kind of oil you requested and when to send you a reminder card. At night the system would determine any oil and air filters that they needed to reorder and call that information into the central warehouse and a shipment would be organized with all the filters that they were running low on. His code handled all those transactions at many locations. So this would give you some ideas of what kinds of projects a programmer would do.
Many people who set out to get Computer Science degrees find out they hate programming or have no gifting for it. They will usually switch into a different IT degree area like Computer Information Systems (CIS).
Here is a short list of some non-programming IT jobs:
Computer Technician
Service Center Coordinator
Help Desk Staff
Storage Administrator.
Network Administrator
Systems Administrator or Systems Engineer
Enterprise Administrator
Backup Administrator
Disaster Recovery Specialist
Database Administrator
Computing Security Specialist
Corporate IT Acquisition
Data Center Administrator

Answer
A lot of people will tell you that it's better to get a bachelor's degree than an associates and in many cases they are right.but here are some job titles and salarys ,-computer systems information specialist = $34,000.00 -computer support specialist =25 per hour-Custom Products Layout Design Engineer=$56,000.00-but the list goes on to approximatly 250 titles or more.... heres more 4 you to research -Careers in Computer Information Systems but the computer information specialists degrees
continue to be very positive and include varying job titles such as------------ systems analyst =(analyzing needs and designing an information systems solution);------ database analyst= (developing and modifying an organizationâs database);--------- programmer/analyst= (developing programs to analyze data); ---------network administrator== (ensuring servers and workstations operate properly);----- and Webmasters and Web developers-= (designing, implementing, and supporting Web applications). good paying salary wage stable employment with a salary history range from 34,000 to 75,000 per year ...hope this helps ..good luck 2 u = )
