In today's world, computers have a significant impact on all career opportunities.
People use computers at every level between casual user to programmer or system designer.
A typical computer user knows the basics and perhaps a word processor, spreadsheet, or web browser. However, this may not be enough for the future. A newly emerging category is the computation specialist, who is trained in a discipline such as engineering, law, or psychology, but who also has significant background in computing. Computational specialists are able to develop computer tools for themselves and for others to be more successful in their field. The two CS minors are a first step down the road to becoming a computation specialist.
