Alot. Expect to know Calculus level stuff at the bare minimum if you want to be involved in programming back-end stuff for software. Computing jobs like IT and the like - you will probably be fine with less but you want to be a guru at math and pc's if you are doing anything coding related.

Well my mate did computer science and he had to study a lot of subjects in maths. Calculus triganometry and geometry etc... Basically almost half of subjects you need to complete are to do with maths.

The most common are software developer, tester, database admin, network admin, help desk and management. Your best bet is to do some searching on monster.com or workopolis.com - you'll see tons of job listings, degree requirements, and some list the salary.

Feasible to go after a computer science degree
Feasible to go after a computer science degree?
I still have some time before I choose, but I was wondering - is it possible for me to go after a computer science degree in college if I have very little experience beforehand? My high school doesn't offer computer science courses, and I don't feel like I've learned much past the basics on my own, so would I be able to keep up in college?

Sure. That's what school if for!!! You might have to take some prerequisite classes but I doubt it. I'm going for Telecommunications and I don't think I'll fall behind. I've known some people that don't really seem too bright and they got their degrees! Go for the gold!!! Good luck.

Yes, it is feasible. If you are still in high school, do an internet search about computer camps. Sometimes, colleges and universities have some programs like that for high school students. Another thought would be to enroll in a computer class at a local community college. Of course, you could also check to see about doing an online computer course. I would recommend the introductory computer course or something similar through a community college or a 4-year college/university.

You can do anythign with a computer science degree. Having it makes you attractive to any company. You could go into any field... do not limit yourself to a job that is only focused on computers but stick with that degree.

No. computers are a dying industry. (I'm obviously being facetious)
