Best Minor with Computer Science?? - Page 2

I agree that OR is a good combination of math and business but don't think there is necessarily much overlap with CS. A better overlap would be something focused more in the data mining or analytics area. I don't think OR is boring, however it is probably too specialized unfortunately. I have only ever met one person who worked in that field and that was in industrial automation/controls business (he had a PhD in math). It probably pays well but there may not be as much demand for it as you might think.

@Silence_Kit: I dunno about me, but you need a minor in manners if anything at all. The rest of us fortunate enough to have parents who taught us that.

It's good advice. Tacking on a minor in a subject won't help you in your career much. No one will look at your resume and go 'oh wow he took on a minor in college I better hire this guy'.
