Actually, this is sound advice, although for employability, you might reverse the major and minor. Back in the days before the world was cluttered with CS majors :-), the consistently best programmers were musicians and people who never got a degree but liked programming.
- tsally 18y agoEmployability is always a concern, but honestly all you need is enough to get a technical interview. If you really know your stuff (as you should) and amaze the interviewer, they will be just that much more impressed that your degree is not in Computer Science. It creates an air of irreplaceability and uniqueness that is pretty essential. As you noted, there are a lot of CS majors floating around. :)
- russell 18y agoGood point. And if you get your coding experience in an extended fun project, outside job, or heavy OSS, you are far ahead of those pure CSers who did nothing but class assignments.
