..for choosing to major in Civil Engineering instead of Computer Information Systems. I've so far wasted the last 3 years (12 quarters) of college in taking CE classes. I'm making the switch officially over to CIS at the beginning of next quarter and I just wish I would've done it sooner. My parents are going to kill me once they find out I've wasted all their money.
I know they'll be disappointed, hell I am, but I am confident that this switch is the wiser choice rather than try (and fail several more times) and finish CE. I'm so far behind in CE that it would take another 2-3 years after this one just to finish (because my school is very impacted). In CIS I can finish by the end of next year.
I really don't know what I'm trying to say.. just venting a little. I guess for all you college bound students.. make sure you really find out what you have a passion for doing before making your final choice in a major.

Sucks

and have a plan b... *sigh*

I changed my major a while ago too. Trust me, you will be tense until it is official, but once you realize you have found the major you really want it will be a huge relief.
|
Jeez... what a waste
Sorry to hear it.
edit: wait a sec... your parents money? damn. I wish my parents paid for my degree.
|
good luck, i'm applying to uni this year.. and i'm still totally unsure of what to do with my grades and what not.
|
it's never too late u made the right choice
for uni/work stuff u have to follow your passion
i recently rejected a job more relevant to my uni degree for something that i felt was more interesting

Well, my tuition is 100% free since my dad is a retired veteran (I think it stops once I'm 23 even if I'm in college though). My parents do pay for my apartment and some food occasionally.. but for regular food, gas, and other expenses I use money I make from my StarCraft websites. I'm just hoping in the coming months I can make enough money monthly to pay for the apartment myself and take the burden off my parents' shoulders.

Yea, I've known mahnini through TL for a while now and I've seen him on DC++ (our school's private file sharing hub). Didn't know he was a CIS major though..

Better start spamming more of your links on TL to get that increased salary your going to need.

His advice is 'know what you want' .... and he didn't know what he wanted .... Good advice.

That was necessary...
Anyways, don't worry man.. i'm sure most of us took a while to figure out our final majors just as you have. I for one just figured out that I wanted to be a psych major after first starting in business, then switching to anthropology, then finally picking pyschology. It helps that I am paying my own way through school though so it isn't like anyone has direct expectations about my future.
