MajorPrep Thank you so much for this video. I really like your KZbin channel. I'm currently in college taking general ed classes. My major is computer science and I really don't know where to start off and what classes to take as a beginner. Would you mind making a video on what classes/ courses cs students should consider taking in their freshman year in details by listing all the prerequisites for any programming language and all other cs courses. Because that's what confuses me a lot. Some people tell you to take java first while some others tell you to take C++ or C#, python, ruby, HTML & CSS etc. I would really like specific guide or path to follow so that I can pursue cs degree without confusion. In addition to that, I have no prior coding experience. I am an absolute beginner. Please give me some suggestions.

[@fabriziodanilo9018]

Great video! I'd like to add (after 15 years in this field) that depending on what you do in computer science, self-teaching is often way more important than the degree itself, as this field requires that you're constantly up-to-date with its crazy evolving pace and Universities just can't keep up. The most important thing is to be curious, curious and curious to always learn new notions and to apply those to your job.

I have a degree in Biology and have already written down those genetics companies you mentioned so that I can see their job posts, and if I have a potential future in bioinformatics by the time I get some CS classes under my belt. Honestly the CS industry as a whole seems like a playground - so many interesting things: security, cryptography, image/video rendering, mobile app development, new algorithms. Thank you again.

Let me note that "Computer Graphics" programming doesn't only involve images. There's been some work on writing GPGPU software, i.e. CUDA/OpenCL, that accelerates system processes that are traditionally given to CPUs. In particular, anything that can benefit from parallel computing will need GPU software.

[@LifeTimeLearner-k2l]

Here’s a summary of the video 1. **Introduction to Computer Science Careers (**00:01**)** The video focuses on various computer science careers and subfields, including software development, network systems, and more. 2. **Software Developer Role (**00:29**)** A software developer writes code for applications like banking software, mobile apps, and video games. It's one of the largest and fastest-growing job fields with over a million jobs. 3. **Computer Systems Analyst (**01:52**)** This role involves evaluating and optimizing large computer systems for businesses, without direct involvement in writing code. It requires understanding hardware and software systems. 4. **Network Systems Administrator (**02:48**)** Network administrators monitor and maintain computer networks, including tasks like installing firewalls, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring smooth access. 5. **Database Administrator (**03:17**)** Database administrators ensure the security, optimization, and maintenance of databases, protecting sensitive data and handling system bugs and breaches. 6. **Web Developer (**03:46**)** Web developers specialize in developing websites, focusing on either front-end (what users see) or back-end (server-side processes like credit card processing). 7. **Security Analyst (**05:10**)** Security analysts protect organizations from cyber threats, handling tasks like setting up firewalls and testing systems for vulnerabilities, especially in finance and banking. 8. **Specialized Fields in Computer Science (**05:37**)** The video also covers specialized areas like artificial intelligence, cryptography, and bioinformatics, each offering unique career opportunities and requiring specific skills. 9. **Cryptography and Cybersecurity (**06:05**)** Cryptography focuses on data encryption, while cybersecurity is about protecting against cyberattacks. Both fields are crucial in industries like banking and government. 10. **Computer Graphics and Bioinformatics (**08:32**)** Careers in computer graphics involve image processing and special effects for media. Bioinformatics combines biology and computing to analyze genetic data, offering career opportunities in health and research. 11. **Diverse Career Paths and Flexibility (**11:25**)** Computer science careers are broad, with roles ranging from software development to security and AI research. Many roles do not require a strict computer science degree, and job titles vary widely. 12. **Conclusion and Career Advice (**12:23**)** Computer science majors often start in software engineering roles but can evolve into diverse positions. A degree isn’t always required, and non-degree paths like boot camps and self-learning can also lead to success.

Computer Science *DOES NOT EQUAL CODE* so many people misunderstand what it means to be in CS. If you want to code, go into Software Engineering or Information Systems. CS is more advanced topic that incorporates code because it allows us to use the theory in Computation that we learn and see the outcome. As a Computer Science, our mission is to Discover and innovative Computer to another level. I do get disappointed when someone tell me they went into a software career... you could have done boot camp or another career for that. CS would indeed help you get an upper hand, the Science of computer is our ability to understand what a Computer is doing during any process of a program and what mechanical part is being incorporated when running a code, a program, OS, etc... hence Computer Science
