CS majors are well known for being brainlets that can't even fizzbuzz

actual brainlet here, what's the non O(n^2) solution to this?

Math degree with a minor in CS or, at least, take some CS classes and get programming certs outside of uni.

you need to a cs degree to get a cs job at any major corporation if you don't have experience. if you have a sweet portfolio and are a good "culture fit" then you can get work at whatever startup, and and get to the same place in time. but not having a degree might hurt you down the line, if any place has it as a strict requirement, and it will effect starting salary and by extension the amount you make over a career

Am I a smarter then a CS major yet?

Double Major in both Math & CS

Many Unis like MIT offers that:

>Course 18C Mathematics with Computer Science

It takes the same 4 years.

A Math MSc can work as Actuary for $100,610 , Statistian for $80,500, or Operation Research Analyst for $79,200

A Math PhD earns $105,810 on average.

The wages among computer Scientists varies a lot when compared to other professions.

The lowest 10 % earned less than $64,950, and the highest 10 % more than $169,680.

Computer Scientists in bottom 10% have just the High School diploma & specializes in Web design.

Reminder that India wages are much below US bottom 10%

Employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 12 % from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations.

But remember that Outsourcing to India can bring wages down in future.

Also remember that You must have a Graduate degree to work as Mathematicians.
To get into Grad School you must get a high GPA.

Math BSc with Low GPA is worthless.
While you can get a job in CS even as a College Drop Out.

But you need a CS degree to be worth more than a Pajeet.
If Pajeet has a CS BSc & you have just High School, then the Pajeet can steal your Job.

And if you want to get hired by top companies like Google or Facebook then you have to get CS BSc or at least Math BSc with minor in CS.

I'm doing CS with a math minor personally.

doesn't matter if you are going to grad school (i sincerely hope that's your plan)
