I’m a sophomore in Civil Engineering and I have had the impression to get a minor in Computer Science with emphasis in Software Engineering. According to my plan I could do it in 4 years so it wouldn’t extend my graduation.
Is it worth the hustle? Would it make me more valuable to companies having a CS minor with a major in CE? Just trying to get some advice here. Thanks in advance!

Worth it. Get the minor and the. you can do a masters in CS down the road if you want. CS majors can make 5x what a CE can make

I’d do it for sure

Do it for sure. I would even suggest that you change your career to CS. CE is limited and there are constraints by standards and manuals. Also, the salaries are based on what the government will pay the company you are working for.

It will help you big time. For me, that will be your ticket for the screening. Go for it, OP. Good luck!
