Computer related fields aren't fun if you decide to work with companies that don't push the envelope. The "cutting edge of technology" depends on what your company wishes to develope. I'm sure you'll enjoy it after college as long as you choose something you would deem as fun instead of doing something like "Internet Help Desk."
College projets are dumb most of the time anyway. Unless you get to choose the project (ie. Senior Project) then it's just boring and everyone else is doing it too so it's not as glorifying.
