Yes!! That is exactly it, you put it perfectly!!

same! I used to be a nursing major and now I am switching. did my first class and JESUS! Its a whole other way to study

Same. I’ve never been comfortable with my math, but I took Precal and did fairly good in freshman year of college. I used to feel like I had good logical skills since I played chess in highschool. When I took calculus 1 I wasn’t really doing the work, I wasn’t studying at all, and then I stopped attending class altogether. At the end of the semester the professor whom saw potential in me gave me another opportunity to complete the course and take the final test which was 70% of the class grade since it was a departmental final. I had over 4 months to prepare for the test and complete the remaining assignments for the course but I didn’t do anything because I thought I suck at math and wouldn’t be able to pass the test. I almost dropped out of college at that point, but I decided to continue and changed my major from computer science to healthcare administration. I graduated last year in may and to this day that is my biggest regret, that I didn’t work hard enough and goofed around, and I didn’t chase after my dreams. Always believe that you can and you will, that’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned from all of this.

starting to feel the imposter syndrome, I haven’t even started college yet 🥲

hmmm!

Glad you enjoyed it! If you’re on the fence about switching and haven’t taken a CS class, I’d highly recommend taking one just to see how you like it 🤗

I did the exact same thing and definitely glad I switched to computer science

@@WarmNapkin I switched majors two months ago from mathematics and am really excited. Everybody wants to switch to it though so the competition to get in is getting tighter. My school requires a 3.5 GPA between 6 prereq classes before you can do CS. Thankfully I was raising my GPA for the last 4 years from a 3.0 to a 3.53 so I switched just in time to finally feel like I have my place here. I'm incredibly smart, but with my ADHD and a lack of helpful hints, I starred college with a rocky start.

Same!! Thank you for posting, I was feeling like the only one. I am pre-med double major but CS seems much more enjoyable.

@@CrispPapa enjoyable? I'm switching from CSE to "multimedia and creative technology" next month. CSE gave me a lot of anxiety attacks ans breathing problem attacks and I don’t have asthma. The thought that it is enjoying to people shocks me. You guys are strong. i was always a straight A student I also got 84% here but it’s just messing with my mental health so I am thinking of changing it in a few days.

Yes all the same sentiments!! it felt strange to admit that I didn't love coding as much as other cs majors did, but it's so important to recognize that it's completely normal! thank you for watching my videos 🥰

Thank you 🥰 & yes!! 🤗

Glad you could relate to the video! It’s so crazy because a lot of people feel this way, but we just aren’t aware of it, so it may feel like you’re only person struggling at times. Coding is super frustrating, but you are more than capable of doing it! You got this! 🤗

@@adebs Thank you this made my day so much better I had a terrible day yesterday

Hello

Thank you love!! 🥰🥰

Haha yes it’s a tough major, but def a lot of fun! ☺️

Did u major?

You got this girlie!! 🤗

i'm a middle eastern women decided to go to CC and transfer too LOL! good luck

@@vv2178 haha that's awesome, thank you! good luck to you as well!!

@@brenben10 I’m also middle eastern male currently a senior in highschool and will probably also major in computer science, it’s one of the best careers out there and although I don’t have no experience either it doesn’t matter we all learn

@@zaraki942hey good grades so u can get into a good uni. Uni matters

No experience in compsci and majoring in it is crazy hard. They can teach u basics but they go through it quick

Aw thank you so much for the sweet comment!! 🥰🥰

Thank you!! 🥰🥰

Hello

Yay! Happy you liked the video 🤗 Excited for you to start your degree!!

Is software engineering, computer science?

I feel you on this, it just there’s gonna be ALOT of math and that makes me very nervous.

@@masherieblackmon6074 I know.... I wish you the best of luck...

@@arelishaley4756 kind of yes. It's similar because of math and coding.

@@masherieblackmon6074 if you go into software engineering (SE) there might not be as much math, if you have the option of going to CS and SE, pick SE. SE is more hands-on than CS, in SE they teach you more content you’d do at the job rather than all theory like in computer science. Good luck! :)

Thank you! glad you found it helpful 🤗

Yes! I had never heard of it until college and once it was described to me, it made me feel better knowing that I wasn’t the only one feeling the same thing 🤗

Yes, absolutely! There are so many other career paths besides software engineering with a CS degree. I discuss some of them in my 'Why You Should Major in Computer Science" video, but some of them are product manager, data scientist, and UX/UI designer. A degree in CS opens up so many doors, and if you haven't taken a coding class yet, I'd recommend taking one just to see how you like it!

@@adebs Thank you! I appreciate it, I’m gonna watch your other video right now.

Thank you so much! 🤗 I'm happy to hear you found the video helpful :)

CIS is defferent from CS. CIS or IT program they foucus on Network and cybersecurity administraion such as Cisco networking, windows/linux server best tools to learn these courses are Cisco packet tracer and VM workstation also CIS student they take application programming classes such as Html/CSS, java script, SQL and OOP with python or C#. If your are a beginner I highly recommend to start with basics of Computer networking, clouds and hardware/operating systems. If you wanna start with programming I recommand to start with basic python and SQL using Microsoft Visual Studio Code editor.

Take the chance! You will never know what CS is going to be like unless you try it out first 🤗

@@adebs I am a electrical engineering junior year student with a 2.4 cumulative GPA and 3.0 electrical engineering GPA. I've been thinking of switching to cs major. How wold this GPA effect me and should I transfer?

Thank you so much!! I’m looking into updating my mic :)

HAHAHA

Hey! I would definitely recommend talking to your professor or TA for extra guidance on how to learn Java better. They would have more information on what you are struggling with and could probably either give you extra practice work or suggest specific websites.

What college are you going

Thank you so much for the kind words 🤗

So glad you found my video helpful 🤗

You got this!! 🤗

yay!! glad you enjoyed the video 🤗

Haha it’s okay!! You got this 🤗

Same lol😭😭

so glad you found the video helpful!! 🤗❤️

Glad you enjoyed the video!! 🤗🤗

thank you so much for your kind words! 🤗 I hope your son has a wonderful time in college!!

Yes, it depends on your concentration though! I had to take calc 1-3, linear algebra, discrete math, statistics, and combinatorics! Then because I had an AI concentration, I had to take upper level math courses related to that! Outside of your CS courses, you’ll probably be taking math courses most. I had trouble with one of my math classes freshman year, so don’t worry too much about it 🤗

None at all! A lot of CS student come into college with no coding experience :)

@@adebs thank you that’s a relief to hear that

How is it going ? :) i hope you are doing well

@@amineaherbil5101 finished first year and I really enjoyed it overall specially the programming and maths :)

Thank you!! 🤗🤗

Yes, he most likely will have at least one coding class, but should be fine w/out any coding experience! 🤗

Thank you so much 🤗

I would definitely say computer science! CS would give you more background in coding than IT would, as IT is usually a combination of business and technology 🤗

Yay!! So happy it helped 🤗🤗

No, you don’t have to know how to code at all! ☺️ Tons of students major in computer science without having any coding experience in high school :)

Aw that’s so nice to hear!!

Nope, you really just need a bachelors degree for most careers! Some roles like a data scientist or user researcher might require a higher degree, but for SWE, you would just need a bachelors!

Btw, my two options rn, by rank are 1.Computer science technology - programming 2.Computer science technology - Network and Security management.

With the first option, you could become a Software engineer, Product or Program Manager, Business analyst, Data Scientist (with a higher degree), Dats analyst…the list goes on! As for the second option, I don’t know too much about security, but the options would be relatively similar, just with more of a security/networking focus. With the second one, you may have the potential to be more IT focused (business + technology)

Passing with a B is still really good, but I understand whyd you want to retake it! :)

🤗🤗

You can be average at math and do just fine as a CS major!

Hmmmm I’m actually not too sure! Most jobs I’ve seen want a degree, but I’m sure there are jobs out there that are fine with just a diploma

No it’s super common to go into CS without any programming experience 🤗 I usually took 15-16 credits a a semester. I did have a job for 2 semesters, and was involved in other activities at the same time! I wouldn’t say I had hardly any free time, but finding the balance between school, social life, and activities is something everyone has to go through in college - I wouldn’t say it’s just unique to CS majors! Don’t let the thought of not having any free time stress you out, you got it! 🤗

Yes! Lots of people come into the major without any prior knowledge of CS!!

No! Definitely give your intro CS and math class a try this semester & see how you like it 🤗

Update??? Is there a lot of math or😭

I just posted a video called “Freshman Guide to Computer Science” and gave a few laptop recommendations in the video! 🤗

@@adebs oh, I’m going to check it out now. Thank you so much! ♥️🥰

aw thank you!! 🤗

I would definitely recommend taking a CS course and seeing how you like it!

I just switched from Finance to CS. Going all in

@@Derbb How was the transition into CS

@@Derbb please how did you like it?

Yes! You will mainly learn how to do lower level programming if you choose to major in computer engineering!

Honestly not that much, unless you go into data science!

I had to take one semester of physics, but I didn’t need to take chem!

Nope! I only took 1 physics class, and I didn’t really apply the knowledge I learned from that class in too man other clasess

4 years!

Thank you for responding, also, I heard that they make ALOT of money. Is that true?

Noooo when I tell you I used to spend HOURS on homework I mean it! Sometimes it just takes a while to get the answer

Woooo THWG!! 🐝🐝

Gg

Not passionate necessarily, but you do you have to at least somewhat enjoy it because it’s even more difficult if you don’t!

@@adebs good to know been eyeing CS major i dropped out because i didnt just want to get a useless degree

if you are ok in math is it still possible to pursue computer science

@@______yawn6419 what do you mean “okay”?😂

@@tshiamomadikgetla931 like you usually get Bs or Cs

@@______yawn6419 ohh yea, that’s perfectly fine

thanks im really on the fence about doing this

thanks for the feedback, it’s one of my older videos when i had just gotten my new camera

Depends on what your concentration is, but I would say at least a third of your courses will be math courses!

@@adebs Can you do a video talking about the pre-calculus topics that you need to know to do well in math courses in software engineering/computer science?

1. Discrete math 2. Calculus 1-2( sometimes 3) 3. Probability & Statistics 4. Linear Algebra

@@stevens7622 How important is pre-calculus for these courses?

@@user-qy6tu9ip9v honestly precalc is not important at all tbh. You won't use much of precalc for calc 1 at least

Thank you! 🥰 will def check out your channel 🤗

hahaha
