Which is a better choice? A General Computer Science Degree or Network Systems Administration and Support?
I am enrolled in college and I need help with deciding what associate degree will be most beneficial to me. I would like a career in computer science. Specifically, I would like to be a systems/database analyst or a network engineer or possibly a web administrator. However, I am uncertain of the possible downfalls that may effect me if I choose to specialize within computer science. I need some feedback on which degree would be a better choice; a general associate degree in Computer Science or an associate degree in Computer Science-Network Administration and Support?

Both. You have a better chance of being hired.

I think you should seriously consider going past an associates degree. If the only choice is between the two, I think a general degree in Computer Science would best serve you. This will give you some background in both how networks communicate, but also a baseline of programming. You should learn a few OS's. Many large companies use UNIX. You can try Linux for free and get a feel for the file structure and how databases work. Good luck. Also with computer sciences, it is a good major to pursue online.

Can i become a software engineer with a computer science degree
Can i become a software engineer with a computer science degree?
Like I go to the University of Waterloo and am going for a computer science major...and looking to take a software engineering option. However doing it this way doesn't make me a canadian lisenced engineer. Does that mean I can't get a software engineering job?. How will the companies know that I have a software engineering option to my computer science degree.

Most companies don't care about the PE license. You will have no trouble finding a job as a software engineer with a computer science degree. They will know you have the software engineering option when you add that detail to your resume.

I found a list below. The majority of people who I graduated with went into software development - at least at first. From there, we've branched out into strictly computer areas, but also into project management, and management in general. You don't need a comp sci degree to work with technology - it should be noted.

Start with the exams. Visit the website of the Institute of Actuaries, http://www.actuaries.org.uk/ , and learn what subjects the actuarial exams cover. You can major in math and computer science, but if you want to be an actuary you should be preparing for the actuarial exams.
