Ask HN: What would you major in if you were an undergrad today?
- gjvc 8y agoeconomics
- epc 8y agoCS. Minored in it, but ran out of money to complete a degree. Basically completed all coursework but senior thesis.
- privong 8y agoIt would probably help to know why you're asking – people could give more specific/tailored advice. I my case, I would still have majored in physics. It provides a lot of good fundamentals for problem-solving, including mathematical exposure, programming, and critical thinking. There are ample paths for moving into other fields from that if you don't end up enjoying physics itself or see yourself wanting to pursue a graduate education.
- elliekelly 8y agoI wouldn't go. I think a little determination + the internet is a more than viable alternative and the savings would be significant.
- Eridrus 8y agoNo regrets about being a CS major; still seems like a good choice.
- Leary 8y agoIf a top school - whatever floats your boat. If not, CS/engineering>STEM>Econ/business>humanities>weird vocational majors.
