Hey, there! I'm currently a senior in high school, getting ready to apply to universities in the next month or two and I had some questions.
I've found so far that I really have three fields that I thoroughly enjoy, Physics, Math and Computer Science. After looking at all of my interests and what I would like to do as a career, I've decided that I want to get my honors in Computer Science major at Carleton (in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) with a specialization in Game Development. Though, to be honest, between the different specializations that they offer (Software Engineering, Security Design, Game Development, Mobile Development, etc.) the only differences is are a few courses.
Anyways, although I'm pretty set on my computer science major, I'm having a hard time choosing a minor. I really love physics, mainly Mechanical/Kinetic physics, though we have really only learned about electromagnetism, Sound, Thermodynamics and Kinetic so far. I'll be taking my Gr.12 physics course next semester.
So really, I'm wondering, how useful is a physics minor? Even though I enjoy it very much, I'm not sure if it will help me at all later in life. Or maybe minors don't really help anyways? I don't know. I'd love to hear some input from people who have taken a minor in physics or any personal experiences.
Thanks,
-Ty
