Data Science vs Computer Science. Which one for Bachelors?
for my bachelor's degree, which one should i choose? Data Science or Computer Science?
For context: I am very much interested in data science. I have taken online courses (although beginner level), and I feel like this is the field that I want to pursue.
Due to the massive oversaturation in computer science and the fact that most CS graduates that I have talked to claim that 90% of what they learn in CS isn't of any use, I decided to explore specialized subfields. I stumbled upon data science, did my research, did some free beginner-level online courses, and now, for many months I have felt that this is the degree that I want to pursue. But recently, many people have told me that I should pursue computer science for my bachelors and then do MS in data science because cs will provide me with a better base, it is a more respected degree, and i will learn a larger set of skills.
Can anyone pursuing either of these degrees, or who's employed in the data science field, tell me which one I should choose? For someone who is interested in data analytics and ML, which one is better for a BS degree?
