Hey,
I am starting my second year of University, and I have a dilemma I was hoping people here could help me with - I started out with a major in Physics and a minor in CS. Over the past year I came to the following conclusions:
1. I enjoy both physics and CS and would like combining the two in the future
2. However, while I think I can handle the course load of a full CS degree and a full Physics major seperatly - I feel the extra CS courses hurt my success in Physics.
I want to continue to Grad school in Physics and maybe even get a Ph.d, which is why I want to drop the CS minor completely, so hopefully my grades in Physics will become more competative. Right now I'm passing every class but I'm not in the 80's in terms of avarage and therefore not competative.
However I feel like if I do I might be missing oppirtunities in work that calls for some CS skills. Let's assume for a second I end up with a Ph.d. How would I be looked at with no formal education in CS? I do have some experience working in CS and plan to keep taking some jobs and doing some projects outside of school.
Long story short I was hoping people with experience could comment on this choice.
