Question: Is a science degree useful to get a job in computer science?

The short answer is: I don’t know, I’ve never tried.

The long answer is that a science degree is useful to get almost any kind of job, because when you’re learning about science what you’re really learning is how to understand new things and use maths to solve problems, and how to write in a clear way so that people can understand you, and how to make the best use of your time. People who might give you a job like it if you can do those things.

Now that I’ve said all that, I can tell you that a degree in Computer Science will teach you all those things too, and you’ll get more chance to actually use computers to do some cool stuff, and then if someone asks you about how to do cool stuff you’ll already know.
