What was your major in college??

Post by Tehquickness »

I am currently in college and I am an Architecture major, but I am considering changing to something web design related. I was thinking that Computer Sciences would be my best bet, but I wonder what you professionals out there did?

1. Architecture to web design? That'll *really* hit your wallet after you graduate.
2. Computer Science and web design are two completely different subjects.

Regarding my degree .. I have a 1st* (Hons) in Broadcast Technology.

* That's basically the best one .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_un ... sification

Yeah, web programming and web design are vastly different and educational institutes treat them as such
