At the end of my sophomore year at Yale, I came to the realization that although I love computers and programming them, I would be very unhappy in life if I decided to follow the path of a computer science major. I changed my major to Economics and Electrical Engineering (double major). I decided to do EE because I don't want to be utterly naive of the way our digital world works, although I have no intention of ever using that degree in a professional sphere. Now, with 1 1 1/2 years left to get my Bachelors, I am looking towards law school, thinking that I may want to become a "tech" lawyer, mixing my interests with a career that could potentially make me very happy.
My point? Find something that makes you happy, something that lights an eternal flame in your belly and pursue. If it's not computer science, it may be something that integrates your passion for technology into another field. Look around, it's probably out there.
