Need an extra opinions!

Ok, so I'm in college. I was wondering if any of the jobs related with computers, all deal with math? If not, then what's the best field you would suggest for a beginneer.

(I love computers, but Im little knoweldgeable with some programming Basic and C+, but it's boring for me and the money is not what counts)

Also the mindset I have about, "Computer Science" is A LOT OF MATH! =/

So I don't want to take the wrong step... and fall.

Thanks for your inputs!

Nope, programming really doesn't use math - i mean it is logical thinking but you aren't doing mathmatical calculations. I mean it can take a lot of math, just depends on what you are programming.

Computer Infortmation Systems (CIS at my old college) doesn't use math either, the only math required was two classes - nothing major. This deals more with hands on (no not fixing a computer fan), more like setting up servers, networks, etc. This doesn't use math either.

Computer Science is where there is a ton of math. That is more engineering like designing circut boards and computer chips.

Yea...i'm a computer science major and on my first semester so far. There is a lot of different computer stuff ( programming, then the actual computer stuff like networking ) involved...but then there is a lot of math. I'm required to have 40 hours in computer science classes that will be the core of my degree....and out of all the other classes I will end up with like 26 hours (29 if i go for a math minor) of math credits :| so it's almost as much math as computer science (but this doesn't include the 12 hours of computer science electives I have to take)

Yeah, not everything has to do with extreme amounts of math. Programming is actually pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

 

[S0ULphIRE]

Yeah, depends what kind of programming you get into. e.g. statistical programming, app programming, etc.

What kind of job would you enjoy the most?

I really apperciate the feedback! Thank you!

NOOO computer Science for me, but thats a great chance I'll be way less succesfull because of it. I know it's based on experience but I have no experience, LOL! =/

I think any job with no math I will enjoy most and the jobs that deals with working "ON" computers. The main concept here is no "math" ha!

Programming is a little boring lol but maybe because I didn't get the hang of it.

So my choices are (CIS) and Programming.... hmmm.

 

[S0ULphIRE]

by 'working ON computers' do you mean fixing them? If so I think you might enjoy working as network support or as an IT Technician

 

[kton16]

Yes sir I do!
Thanks!

Imma look into that and (CIS)!

Thanks everyone once again.
