Hello everyone! I am John and Im 13 years old. I was always wondering if the Computer Science field was good to major in. I would like to kind of get is jist of how much they make.

Also, what would be helpful if you could tell me some classes I should take next year in high school and in college.

Sincerly,

John

>I would like to kind of get is jist of how much they make.
It's a well known statistical fact that CS majors (like all other college students) make minimum wage, at best. Once they get into the field they make anywhere from less than $20,000 to over $100,000. The average rate is around $70,000 though.

>if the Computer Science field was good to major in
It's fascinating, hard, interesting, hard, caters to creative people, and hard.

>would be helpful if you could tell me some classes I should take next year in high school and in college.
Mathematics, English, and a second language other than English.

Some other classes you could take the next year is some computer science classes. Those could give you a small taste of what the general idea is. Also, be sure you get plenty of math, it will help you tremendously. Good luck.

I'm in AP Computer Science right now in high school, and I find it very easy. I guess the best way to go, would be find out what language they will be teaching the year you come up, and start learning early. Don't be fooled by the "AP", those classes really aren't as hard as people make then out to be. But take as many as you can, and don't forget honors, take all honors classes. All of those classes help you get into college.

Everything in high school is easy. University courses are considerably more difficult.

I made a 'B' in Art, I didn't find that very easy?

Thanks guys. You are helping plenty

>I made a 'B' in Art
You didn't learn the rules then. Anyone who wants an A is supposed to draw random lines and make up some BS about how it's the physical manifestation of their being.

Well, I got graded down for what the teacher called " being dirty with clay".. :cheesy:

i'm 15 and taking AP comuter science next year, as well as 'tech service and repair'. get into computers. it is where the world is going and i guarantee you wont regret it.
