To be more specific, can a graduate of mathematics actually make it big time in the IT industry (with lots of professional certifications in the IT sector though)? I need this info to advice a student who needs counseling 1 Like |

mathefaro: What is your definition of success? Is success determined by money? If so, then a Comp Sci degree is NOT needed. Is success determined by getting degrees and writing papers? Then a Comp Sci degree IS needed. Is success determined by peace of mind and having a family? Than a Comp Sci degree is NOT needed. Let me give u a quick answer. There are many Bachelors, Masters & PHD. holders of Comp Sci n IT but do u know the funniest thing? Majority of them end up working for people who don't have a single degree in Computer Science and IT. Isn't that funny? Most billionaires around the world never went to college, there are even more millionaires that are high school dropouts. At the end of the day, I think it is about chance, determination, luck and opportunities. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ofcourse NOT, a comp. Sci. Degree is in no way a requirement (although it could be helpful). In fact d combo of Mathdmatics and a career in programming is a very good one and will b helpful in a LOT of ways to say d least. Many respected, renowned, professional and powerful programmers were not even directly frm d comp sci./ I.T education side. 1 Like |
