Comment on Ask HN: What non CompSci courses to take in college?

>programmer/entrepreneur career

Specifically in this career, I'd like to say that CS courses alone is sufficient, certainly not optimal, but sufficient in making you a good programmer, though it's up to you what you make of your program.

For entrepreneur, in my experience, you have got to be a people person. And, you have got to understand the finances. For business/marketing and related classes I would say that generally different courses have different business logic which may or may not work depending on the situation. So, I would say prioritize on performance arts/public speaking if you're not already a people person. Else, go the finances route. It's amazing what basic knowledge of time value of money can teach you.
