I've narrowed down my major choices to these.

Information Technology,

Business Analytics & Information Systems,

Computer Science,

Computer Engineering,

Accounting,

Public Health.

Like I said before I'm trash af at math, but I want this paper.

I still don't know what to choose.

What yall think about these majors?

I heard computer engineering and science took people many years to finish, is that true?

And do yall know anyone who personally took these majors ? How they doing now?

Computer Science and Computer Engineering will take from 4-6 years depending on how many classes you do or do not fail and the availability of classes at your institution. Anyone moderately competent with a CS degree can land a decent job. You do need to be willing to relocate for a job.

So you pick those two? How do you feel about the other majors?

I picked CS and know a few engineers across several disciplines. I also did a non-STEM major as well.

IT and Business Analytics were rolled into one major at my school. Generally the people who couldn't hack it in CS changed into IT. There's a breadth of people on here in various parts of IT so better they than me to talk about it. I've nothing to say about the others.

What was your non stem major? Was it worth it?

Go with the major that most aligns with your skills/passion/interests and that makes the most money.

Have no idea what that would be in. If I could avoid math I would pick the best major. Unfortunately all majors that pay well are higher paying.

just remember , you will need to be decent at maths for most things , youll need to apply maths to most things you do even if its just add/subtract and times

my younger brother does computer science and the maths work he has to do is crazy :mindblown: but he enjoys it tho

Only take computer science if you are strong in math and programming.
If not, select another major or select Information Systems. Information Systems or Information Technology will have computing along with business courses.
Computer engineering is even more difficult than computer science.

Accounting is a solid way to go.
Consider finance. With a finance degree, you could work for a brokerage firm, banking, or even an insurance company.

The strategy, in part, should be to finish college in 4 years or less. If a major is too difficult or stressful, no shame in selecting a less strenuous major.

While you are in college, attempt to acquire as much funding as you can in the way of scholarships and grants. This can be a way to make some money. :myman:

Do that right, you could begin funding a retirement account and a whole life insurance policy.
If you elect to do the aforementioned, create a Roth IRA and select a dividend paying, whole life insurance policy.
