[quote=Anonymous]My son majored in a discipline suitable for pre-med, and changed course around his junior year after struggling with some particularly challenging science classes.  He then decided to minor in CS and readily obtained very well compensated related employment upon graduation.  His employer provides additional CS training as part of their career development program.  His earnings potential as a software engineer is substantial, he enjoys a good work-life balance, and he has employment security because his skills are in great demand.

As is true across many fields, you do have to be genuinely competent to have the best outcomes.  It also helps in the CS arena if you have business acumen and good people skills in addition to technical abilities, as many people with IT skills are limited in their potential to advance very far professionally because of their lack of business-relevant non-technical skills.  Even so, it's possible for capable technical individual contributors without management potential or interest to still enjoy good remuneration.  [/quote]
