I am currently studying maths, physics and computer science at A-level. I think I would find computer science interesting, but I am not sure I could get a job with that degree after uni and I don't want to be 30k in debt with a bad degree.

What other decent degrees could I get?

Comp Sci is a good degree. Great even. Especially if you go into computer or network security.

Regardless. I would suggest you get 1 or 2 internships in the kind of field you want to be in to pad your resume. When you graduate you may have to go where the work is(any normal city/suburb).

In addition if you're really worried about a job, start some projects, open up a github and show off your work. Put it on your resume. Even if it's just those dumb fizzbuzz it still helps.

As long as you can show that you know what you're doing, and put that in the face of a hiring manager. You're guaranteed a job srsly
Just realize it's a lot of math.

Also.

Graduating in december with MS in CS and job searching now.
>Internships
I regret I didn't get any
>Start some projects
I regret not starting one big one sooner. Bigger is better, a dozen fizzbuzz-tier repos are not.
>Guaranteed a job
3.9/4.0 GPA has done nothing for me, not sure how to feel about this
>A lot of math
Not in course work, actually

I have never heard of FizzBuzz, is this what you are referring to?

It may not be the best degree to get. Oil companies just dumped thousands of employees, many of them engineers. Unless the oil price raises WAYYY more than it currently is, this would be a risky decision
