I am a Comptuer Science Major Junior. I am about do a Minor and was wondering which minor would be the best to do. I was a Science student in my +2 days so i have no idea of business field and i am kinda interested in Mathematics. Somebody told me that doing Maths Minor would be good for a Computer Science student since it would show that the student is more talented in calculation kinda things. While somebody says that minor in business administration would be better for the current job market. Could you please give me your adviceThanks..

"and yes, like sis says MBA is a good combination with technical skills.
but then if ur degree requires a minor go for math imho. u wont regret
it. just dont minor in something that wont help ur major...like
horseriding or something :P."
Horse-riding or horse-back riding? Apparently, in America they mean entirely two different things. LOL Double D Dogg!;PUsually people go for MBA at a competitive B-school after a few years of work in the real world. The thread initiator says she is a junior. That advice won't even apply to her for now.Mathematics is a killer combination for Computer Science major if not for Computer Information System major. By picking math minor/major, your computer engineering background will be set on even stronger foundations. Until now all these look great on blogs or papers.The real road-blocks become visible when it comes to implementing it. By that I mean, if you happen to be working 25 to 30-plus hours weekly just to raise tuition fee and living expenses, don't even think about math and computer science unless you have enough passion to replace other hobbies or activities with math-problem solving and computer programming.Undergraduate business major/minor is good too, if you happen to be a very articulate people person, have great communication skills, and see yourself working in business. Still, Bill Gates did not have to attend any Business or MBA program to become the wealthiest business person on the planet.If you have plan to work for a few years in a particular area of your major right after you receive your bachelor's degree, in that case it might be more lucrative to replace your minor with courses that will actually strengthen your marketability for an internship or an entry-level position.You see it's not "a one size fits all" kind of thing. Every major is great if you know how to excel in it and you know exactly what to do with it. Picking an area of study should be driven by passion coupled with a clear vision and not by the kind of opinion the next person might make of you.Good luck.

Mathematics is the foundation of Computer Science/Engineering. So if you are interested in Mathematics, go for it.
Almost everything related to cryptography, scheduling protocols, error correction codes, Network vectors/graphs, design and analysis of algorithms, logic circuits are based on simplistic to holistic mathematical foundations/concepts.
You cant go wrong with strong Mathematics background as a CS Major!
