Thinking of majoring in computer science but need your help!!?

How I Met Your Mother FanHow I Met Your Mother Fan


I'm having trouble deciding on a major. I want to get a job in which I can check the integrity of the system, ie. for the government, by attacking it myself. I want to have a job where I could do this then come up with solutions so that the computer would not be vulnerable to that type of threat.

Another type of job that I would want is a job in which I can help the law enforcement agencies to capture criminals that commit cyber crime. Or, I would like a job where I can maybe work for a bank and make sure that all its transactions are safe.

Would a major in computer science allow me to get a job like the ones I described above? And what companies would I be working for?

If you posess a degree - or any extra qualification - then you'll already be in advace of of the masses when it comes to searching for vocations. My buddy has a degree and he wasn't sure what direction to go with it, but he unearthed some great tips and tricks on the resource in the resource box below which guided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is plenty of help on the resource regarding extra vocations.
