You could gain some qualification in Visual Basic, C, C++, C# or Java - these are programming languages - NOT to be confused with easier to learn scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etc.
Don't underestimate any language (whether a true programming language or a scripting language) - they all take time to master. As a real-world programmer, you'd be expected to be intimate with at least 2-3 real programming languages AND able to write a script or two.
If you are just in it for the money - forget it - stick with business admin. It takes a certain type of person to be a programmer.
Try a course in C++/Java at college to find out the basics - you'll figure out if you can hack it at this level - coz they don't just hand out a pass if their reputation is at stake.
Go seek out some free online classes to get an idea of what sort to expect of the tuition - this is a world away from business admin.
It couldn't hurt to learn programming - but headhunters probably won't want to talk to you unless you have at least two years experience.
Yeah you have to....not too much but little..many programming languages are there like PHP , HTML are easy to learn for basic people
I'm currently a Freshman at college, and I'm majoring in Business Administration. Looking into the future, it seems like computer science is going to be hot, just like news headlines imply...Should I spend time on learning how to program? I was thinking that if I know at least the basics, rather, a decent amount, I could potentially innovate something that can be used via internet. I'm not expecting to be an entrepreneur...but it would be cool to innovate something. By the way, I know nothing about programming. Once again, Should I invest time to learn it?
