Comment on Ask HN: CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major?

Comments

Does your college have an MIS focus? When I was in college, you'd chose a few focus areas for some of your electives. In the Business dept, they had an MIS focus which included some of the entry level CS classes, software process type stuff, and then some management-type classes from the business dept. It might be more for you.

Generally though, I'd agree. If you don't want to code, CS isn't the best fit for you.

Although in our field, it is quite unique that what your degree is in really doesn't matter. I several coworkers, who are great developers, with degrees in Political Science, History, and other completely non-tech fields.

Georgia Tech doesn't really have a MIS focus for an undergrad degree. They have a MBA-esque degree which is a 60 hours masters which is however.
