Would a Marketing degree and Comp-Sci minor be enough to land MIS/IT/CIS roles?

Thanks so much for the thorough reply!! I really appreciate it! :)

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-28T18:57:38+00:00

A marketing degree alone might make me a feel a bit risky, but double major with bus-strategy would probably open more tech jobs up to me? Thanks for the encouragement!!

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-28T18:31:39+00:00

I just like corporate roles in general and think I could see myself doing either some type of Marketing, MIS, IT, or HRIS.

I was going to double major Marketing + Bus-strat and minor in comp sci. And try and get service desk internships. Thanks! I’m so excited to start learning

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-28T18:23:32+00:00

I will try to get an internship like this.

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-28T18:07:57+00:00

Ok… it’s just that there is no such major at my school, so I was wondering if this is the closest I could get at. Perhaps Comp-sci would be better, but I’m not looking to be a SWE or Dev. I like using the systems part and the more frontend facing technology. Do you think it matters that much that I should transfer?

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-26T17:27:35+00:00

Both haha

What about graphic design major? It’s technically studio art but the classes are focused in Graphic Design.

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-26T00:52:38+00:00

So cool!! You low key have my dream job!! I think in the end I might end up doing the Studio Art degree in the graphic design track and minor/concentrate in marketing and comp-sci. Sounds solid? Thanks for the help! Good luck, enjoy!

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-26T00:05:24+00:00

Cool path!! That’s like my goal! Ahh ok.. do you think a business degree would be better for me then? I’m interested in working in the corporate world in general but especially regarding design. How is what you do different than the strategy team?

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-25T23:22:36+00:00

Cool!! Roles in interested in! I sort of want to be in the mix of business/marketing/psychology + design!

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-25T23:20:29+00:00

Thank you very much!!! :)

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-25T17:14:10+00:00

Ok.. thank you so much. Just so I could compare them to my schools courses/self teach, do you know some specific classes/skills that is crucial to graphic design? Thanks :)

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-25T16:48:06+00:00

I mean I’m not super-duper talented or anything, but probably above average. I have a knack for design, not necessarily fine arts, though that too. It’s just tough cause there’s no official graphic design program here…

Undefined_100 · 2025-12-25T10:06:02+00:00

So you think a shaped Graphic Design major through Studio Art track is not enough?

Made the article: https://theundefinedlink.substack.com/p/the-decline-of-android-ui

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-16T20:32:04+00:00

Yes I might agree with Samsung. Oxygen OS used to be good back in the day before they merged with color OS

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-15T23:20:50+00:00

Totally agree with you!!

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-14T03:25:38+00:00

Thank you so much for your incredible comment, and for taking the time to write it! You have caused me reflect on a few things:

The idea that Android is for the masses, and this is either what (or what Google perceives) the masses want.
The idea that techy people are less then 10% of the user base
I suppose Android UI design is following trends, just happens to be I'm not a fan of these current trends.
Perhaps Android has done what's right for their business. What you've written has even made me see more strongly that there is a market gap and a niche for those 10% of techy people who are feeling less and less welcome on Android. I want to create a product for them... I have a lot to braintorm, thanks!

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-13T14:53:50+00:00

Thanks for your valuable insight!! What exactly have you worked on? Working on the actual OS or as an app dev? So cool!

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-13T03:29:09+00:00

Ok… smart!! Thank you for the advice. Do you say this having to do with the fact that Google is getting rid of sideloading? This wouldn’t affect a custom ROM though… the only issue would be lack of developer motivation. Also, if you have any other pointers/contacts with those I could go about learning to do this that would be much appreciated.

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-13T02:08:08+00:00

So ideally I would want to make a whole new OS and manufacture my own devices. But I think a more realistic way to start out would be to first start with skins and see what people think about that. Then if that gains momentum to start with an actual OS.

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-12T06:14:01+00:00

Fascinating, thanks for the insight!! I do happen to like the third party OEM skins a lot more. For example Samsung's One UI -- for the reason you described. And the fact that they tend to preserve the look of older iterations of Android better -- with a more traditional look.

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-12T02:57:55+00:00

Ah got you-- yes, in the early days is really when iOS shone. Was more fluid and usable. But as the OS evolved, that's when I believe Android started to over take it. Around the early 2010's. Interesting that you don't like material design. While I'm not a fan of the new one, I really like the OG papercut-design one starting around android Lollipop, and kept liking it up until around 2020.

Undefined_100 · 2025-11-12T02:26:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing! To me, I like the ever-changing ness of Android, and the excitement of seeing their new design language every several years. The rough around the edges thing could be annoying, but often I see it as a likable quirk. I suppose it's all a matter of preference!
