Some people find out what they want to do way after they had decided their major, and it turned out to be something that wasn't even remotely related. You'll come to that point where you have your "Aha!" moment eventually and decide what to do in the next chapter of your life. Just remember though, time is precious. Make use of the time you've spent in college. I sure as hell dicked around too but I can at least look back at the mistakes I've made and improve my life by learning from them. Ah gotcha, yeah I hope my moment comes soon XD definitely a time to make the most of. Also yes after college you could be making 5, 6 figures, but during college you get to party/have fun/chill/go out with people for a lot of the time--after college, you're going to be working full time (no homework but work isn't necessarily too easy and whatnot :X) and work takes a lot of your time away. So it's that much important to find a job you really like I guess :D | ||

For college, grad school, and basically any career in academia, sure, you can work at your own pace as long as you get things done eventually, but you also pretty much have work on your mind all the time, and that can take just as much of a toll on you. Even in undergrad, whenever my friends and I went out to have fun downtown or something, we brought our work with us nine times out of ten. This type of attitude is especially prevalent at schools filled with academically minded folks (like Berkeley). | ||

I wouldnt go that far considering the vast majority of comp sci people in finance are just your average run of the mill application developers at banks if they're competent they'll still be making 6 figures around late 20s early 30s though. it's jsut turnover is quite high. | ||

If you do a 9 to 5 kind of job, it's not necessarily that it takes a lot of your time away, it's that it leaves you too drained after you come home to do anything except sleep and maybe watch TV. But you can shelve your work and not have to think about it until you go in to work the next day.

This type of attitude is especially prevalent at schools filled with academically minded folks (like Berkeley). Aah. I love that though. Thinking about how to solve problems all day. Maybe discuss the problems with your friends. It's great when there isn't any stress like an exam coming up. | ||

Figures vary, but ~50k at least for a STEM major is fairly common for a fresh college graduate. With a few years of work experience, that increases rapidly. | ||
