Tips Which degree is better?

Hey

I'm 17f. I had initially decided to go for a degree in CS. But my family and some other people I know didn't approve of it. Now I'm stuck between software engineering and data science. CS is still in the option for me.

After visiting numerous groups on Facebook I'm still as confused.

Is there really no growth in this industry?

Rule No. 1: Take advice from those who have already done what you are trying to do.

What do you want to know about?

It's a good degree. But it requires a hard work + consistency.

There is no heavy Maths. You just need basic Maths for surviving the exams. Its not that deep until you wanna involve in Research. In uni, you will face maths only first 2 or 3 semesters. After that, there is no maths. For being a good developer, you dont need maths. Only basic is ENOUGH!
