Thank you for your response! I do believe that I can keep up with the math end of this, I've already taken such math courses as discrete math and all levels of calculus and received A grades in all of them (math was my best subject in grade school). Also, my serious training as a ballerina and being trained by the toughest and meanest of them has given me the tough skin I believe you're talking about!

I hope I don't get chased off this forum for asking a personal question, but here goes... I am a rising senior who is about to earn a bachelor of arts in communication. I've never been thoroughly excited about the potential career opportunities that fall under this major. So far this summer, I've really been racking my brain to try to figure out what I would really love to do for the next 40 years of my life. While I was helping (really just staring over his shoulders) a software engineering friend with one of his projects, I realized that this was the most fun I had doing anything that could lead to a career. With that, I decided I'd like to pursue a career in software engineers (and yes -- I have researched the field and several other computer-related fields). After much tedious research, I've decided that I will be able to minor in computer science within the next two semesters -- which is great because most graduate schools accept both majors and minors in computer science! My question is: Should I go for a masters in software engineering, or do employers prefer candidates with a more well-rounded skill set in the field? Should I get a masters in software engineering, computer science, or...? And also, related to this question, is it impossible to get a software engineering job while I'm also in graduate school with just a minor in computer science? Thank you in advance for your responses!
