"Will employers care if I have Math/Econ degree instead of a CS one?" <<< Unless you are pursuing a specific area in computer science then its not necessary to do computer science.These days, certain employers don't look for specific degrees...But if you have a mathematically intense degree, employers will be more flexible in selecting you for assessment/interview. A computer science degree is more about understanding computers on a theoretical computational level.Computer science is a "subset" of mathematics.I currently finished my second year in CS and from what I've learned, its all about self initiation and how far you want to "dig deep" in this field. Either way you will gain useful knowledge that can be applied in what ever you want to do.
