Sick of the same posts
I love a lot of the content on this sub. However, there is a CONSTANT stream of people asking the same questions about data science. Specifically, "should I major in cs or stats or applied math or all three for data science", "will a double major in cs and stats and minor in data science be good preparation for a data science career?", or some variation on these questions. First of all, these questions have been asked hundreds of times and answered just as many times (answers which can be found instantly on reddit/ via a quick google search etc). Second of all, this should seem pretty obvious to you. If you are interested enough in data science to consider it as a potential career choice, it should be quite obvious to you that; YES! A double major in CS and Stats is a great way to start your path toward a career in data science. Sometimes I feel like people who ask this question are just searching for a boost in their self esteem or something. Anyway I don't mean any offense toward people who ask these questions, I just ask that you please do the 5 min of google research first.
