Hi Roberto, If you are on the fence and don’t mind taking extra advanced math classes, a CompSci degree will be a lot more useful on the job market. If film/video is your passion and you can’t see yourself doing anything else, than by all means go for it. I assume you’re interested in GMU since you’re posting here. GMU has a excellent CompSci program, and I would encourage you to express your interest early so you get invited to their open house/lunch for prospective computer science majors. Graduates from GMU’s undergrad CompSci program average a starting salary of almost 60,000. You’re not going to earn that in too many fields right out of college. You have to be up for the advanced math & tech classes, of course, and feel that it’s something you really want to pursue as a career.
