      Deadass forgot about this comment but I’m actually focusing on being a information security analyst. And I’m almost nearing the end of my sophomore year. I love my major lol so I decided to stay In computer science. I’m actually picking up a summer internship in that deals with cyber security.

    You dont need to be excellent at math. But it's a very good tool to try to do as good as you can. Strictly because math makes programming so much easier due to how math is very logical, which h programming is also.

    Hey, Maya! Fellow CodeHer and third year Triton here :) Love your videos, and this video idea is EVERYTHING! I used to think that being a Cog Sci major would hinder me from being a software engineer, but two years later, I was able to land an internship through the career fair. (I even made a video bout it lol) Computer science is definitely a different way of thinking, but I truly think that with the right mindset, ANYONE can be a programmer.

    Hm, I might have to say that Computer Science has extensive math. intermediate calculus is the upper ceiling when it comes to Math. There's plenty of discrete math and logic involved too, in logic design classes and boolean algebra.
