thanks ^^

but do all computer related majors have to go through intense like math courses???

i like working with pictures and editing them and i just got done with a computer calss in school (web page development). i learned how to make wesites and learned about html... its was pretty cool and liked the whole thing. since i had take a digital imaging comp. class before that it really helped out with the web page dev. class and i liked the whole idea of putting the two together and waht not.

idk im still undecided about what i wanna study in college. not to mention... i plan on doign the wohle ROTC thing while in college and then after that joining the military as an officer.

It depends on the program, and where you study. For example, a friend of mine studies comp sci at another school, and only has to go through Calculus I and linear algebra.

For something like that, you could study something like web design or graphics design. Comp sci would prepare you to build software to do that kind of stuff, but you probably wouldn't spend much time doing web and graphics stuff in a comp sci program.

For example, I have a class this semester in computer graphics... But it doesn't teach us to make graphics; rather, it teaches us how to implement software that will allow an artist to manipulate graphics. That's a good example of the difference between computer science and other computer-related programs (such as design).
