Basically, I%26#039;m in my second quarter of my second year, and I%26#039;m a Computer Science major. When I took my starter classes I didnt really like programming, and now that I%26#039;m delving into my higher level classes, I realize that I REALLY hate programming, and I would never want to do it (or anything related to programming) as a real job.
As far as I know, its not too late for me to change majors (although it may be hard). Im thinking of changing to Business Administration, due to the fact that I prefer to work with people, and it seems as though it would give me plenty of options when choosing a job in the work force.
Is my reasoning valid? Im actually in a programming class now, and cant stand the material, or doing the programming....
TIA|||Since you really hate programming, you would be foolish to stay in that major. My nephew was in computer science because he had heard it was a %26quot;hot%26quot; field, which I do believe is true. However, he, too, hated it and knew he didn%26#039;t want to do it for the rest of his life, so he changed. Don%26#039;t just think about how you hate it now--imagine what the rest of your life would be like if you spent 40 hours or so a week for the next 40 years or so doing something you hate. It is hard enough to go to work without having to do something you really don%26#039;t like. Even if changing your major requires you to spend an extra quarter or so in college, it would be time well spent if you end up in a major that you enjoy. One thing I would suggest in making the change is to look at possible majors that would be compatible with computer science as your minor. Business administration is a broad enough field that should have a decent amount of demand for many years to come. Talk to your counselor. It might be possible to take both aptitude and interest tests that will help you decide.|||try biomedical sciences, it%26#039;s a lot of fun
