>I definitely should've just major'd in math, why did I fall for the CS meme?

I really fucking hate taking cs classes I should've just learn that on the side and pursue a math degree which I like a lot

what to do /sci/?

But anon, why not just do what you love? For me, I did pure math but I also love classics so I did a minor in Greek and Latin. Did that make me more employable? Probably not, but I didn't care. Besides just having an MS in math gets you pretty much anywhere, as long as you have summer work experience. If you don't study what you like you will do poorly. I never took a coding class, but just lied and put it on my CV. Never got caught, and I learned how to code really quickly. Don't fall for Jew tricks: they push engineers and codemonkeys, but there's only so many jobs out there.

is cs really that bad?
i have to choose my engineering stream soon and im confused between cs and electrical.
salary is better for cs tho but idk wtf the job has me to do if its like talking to clients too late night and stuff man that sucks.
electrical seems lit i think as we understand electronics so?
right now im studing physics.chem,math,bio so if i take cs i neeed to go to a training camp

Why not just go all the way and do gender studies, since you hate being employable so much?

it's not, but you have to actually enjoy it. Retards like OP commit to it because they think liking video games translates to liking programming, but it doesn't. Just teach yourself some programming and see if it actually sparks interest first, otherwise you'll be another deadbeat, shitty programmer who never does any programming out of class assignments.

why not double major? it's a nice compromise. one for the salary one for enjoyment.

I am taking a math minor, affordability and time is a big one for me, and im kinda deep into the curriculum. But i just dread CS so much that my anxiety is through the roof

Unironically just do which one you enjoy the most

Also, you sound like you're listing A-Levels (which means you're not 18 but whatever). In any case, most unis don't really care about people not taking CS A-Level.
CS at A-Level is a complete meme + many schools don't offer it. Maths is far more important to them.
That said, if you're applying for a CS course at uni and don't know/have at least an interest in programming and CS-shit then literally what the fuck are you even doing

A double major in mathematics and comp sci with a minor in linguistics or philosophy is the highest degree available at university.

I was considering doing this, but with a minor in physics instead of philosophy.

Checked.
Also I know we shit on liberal arts/social sciences here, but if you want to actually be a well rounded person and have a valuable education, you can't only do STEM. Stuff like music or philosophy or a foreign language works the parts of the brain STEM usually doesn't, so it's important to not neglect it. Also, IMHO taking 5-6 classes of just STEM is pure torture, you need a break from that stuff.

that's fair, and I'm interested in philosophy. my thought process was that modern physics is harder to learn on your own.

It is harder, but as long as you really understand vector calculus, ODE/PDE, calc. of variations, group theory, complex analysis, and differential geometry (all pretty basic undergrad stuff), you should have no problem with physics provided you're willing to work a lot of problems.

Same I did a major in electrical engineering, but I really wanted to do a major in math, so i minored in math instead.

I majored in math and wish I majored in CS. Feels bad man. Think how much better you'll be at programming than me.

Is that a problem with CS students or the structure of CS undergrad education? CS profs tell me I have a decent chance of stealing programming jobs, but I figured they were just trying to help me cope.

programming is just hard anon, and getting the degree is a filter by itself.

I get analysis paralysis in OOP. Surely a CS major would have more experience with program composition than I, hence make a better programmer, no?
