Ask HN: What to Study After Computer Science?

2 points by kayza 6y ago ↗ HN

I am finishing my undergraduate in CS this month and was asking myself, what to study after that. I don’t want to study just CS again (Master). I’d like to study a field which could benefit the most from a fresh perspective of a CS Student. Biology? Neuroscience? Philosophy?

Easy, MBA with an emphasis on Marketing. Don't just study it. Make a plan on how you will apply it while you are studying it and after you graduate.

You could study another stem field but the real value in any field of study is to make a difference in the world. Another stem field will only get you deeper in study without really knowing how to apply it.

There are many applications of CS in quantitative finance. See the thread "In Battle to Recruit New Quants, Hedge Funds Outpay Banks" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21908914 .
