I recently switched majors to math and physics because computer science just didn’t feel right to me. I mean I think coding is fun and I do believe cs has some interesting topics, but it just feels like I have an easier time with mathematics than computer science. Maybe that’ll change when I start taking more advanced math classes, but I don’t know. I should also mention that math and physics were supposed to be my initial major but I became blinded with the thought of making $100,000+ right after graduating.
I guess I should’ve given it more thought, because I don’t really know what to do in the future. I mean I do want to go to grad school and maybe get a masters, PhD, or both. It’s just that I’ve heard academia can be an incredibly toxic environment and so many people leave because of it.
I just don’t really know what I can do upon graduating. My dad says I’ll most likely become a professor. I mean I’m still unsure about the idea of teaching. I don’t believe I’ll be a good professor and it’s not something I really see myself doing. Again, maybe this will all change with time.
Sorry for the little rant. I just want to know what job you ended up working, how much you enjoy it, and I guess how much you make or how well you’re doing financially speaking.
