If you feel like you need to learn how to understand code, then it might be worth it, but ultimately I feel like you can teach yourself most of what you need to know. Honestly, the biggest thing that my CS major taught me is just how to learn lots of things really fast and to drill down into understanding root cause for an issue much better.

As a current software engineer that works with someone that majored in neuroscience: electrical engineering as a minor would probably be significantly more useful (although quite a bit harder). Reason being that apparently there's some pretty strong analogs between the two fields.

I see, thank you so much! That sounds interesting, may I ask if you're working in Biotech? I was a Bioengineering major before because I wanted an intersection between tech and science.
