[Earth Mk. II]

D`Espice:

That took balls, and it sounds like you made the right move.

Did a similar thing a few years back - looked at schools for CS, but listened to my brother who said "CS majors are a dime a dozen." So, I entered college as a mechanical engineer. After a semester and a half, decided I didn't like it and switched out to English, which I always enjoyed much more. Unfortunately, I spent too much time programming, playing with my computer, and just "geeking out" in general that I failed every class. So, then I switched into CS like I had originally wanted and couldn't be happier.

Of course, now, despite constantly getting B's and A's, my GPA sucks. I'm glad I did it though.

Good to hear you're trying to find something that excites you in life.

Glad to see you ended up doing what you want, Earth Mk, especially since your brother's advice was incorrect. It's Mechanical Engineers who are a dime a dozen, while the ranks of CS majors are dropping and employers are actually trying to entice more people to pursue the major (eg see Bill Gates' recent interviews).
