What to major in when love math and coding but dislike science?

Math. The wall street quants who make $1M+ a year in their 20s are math majors.

Didn't you have to have some science for your major?

I majored in statistics. 2 semesters of either engineering chemistry or engineering physics required for the degree. I took the chem route. I also needed at least 1 other science course. I took meteorology (kinda helpful, quite honestly).

The CS majors at my alma mater needed both engineering chem & physics, as I recall.

Good question. I double majored in biology so it’s tough to tell but only like one class overlapped from what I can remember (and that was a math class for a science credit). Pretty sure 1-2 science classes were required as part of common core or whatever but after that, nothing.

+1 my kid who loves math but didn't think he liked science was surprised by the amount of math in chemistry and physics
