Am I well suited for CS?

<p>I pay attention to details, I tend to have a messy desk but am able to easily locate things on it, I can basically figure out how most math problems work if given enough time, and I do enjoy doing math on my own time at my own pace. </p>

<p>I hate feeling trapped in one place, I think I either suffer from ADHD or Depression or both, and ever since I've been back home, I've felt easily aggravated by how cluttered and cramp my parents' home is, especially my bedroom. I actually think I felt some claustrophobia when I first came back home from my first year of college.</p>

<p>I don't enjoy doing math under a strict time limit, and I'm not good at it under pressure. I also am only interested in math if I have to do it. I never do math for fun because I am more interested in doing other things.</p>

<p>I am also very interested in the planet and helping people and seeing new places.</p>

<p>I want to travel, so I don't want to take a job that forces me to spend so much time working in one place, I can only move on vacation days. At the same time, I don't want a job that forces me to travel all the time and prevents me from creating some kind of social life or love life wherever I decide to live.</p>

<p>Should I major in CS?</p>

<p>No, not good under pressure is the clue.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say its an immediate no, but yes you do have some disadvantages listed here. Before you make any decisions, I would try out programming and see if you can focus on a problem in that medium without feeling pressure. You very well may not feel pressure there, so try it before you rule out CS.</p>

<p>I’m no expert, but I think this will be incredibly hard to find regardless of field, and should get such an idea out of the required list and onto the wish list.</p>

<p>Don’t mix up the travel and fun together. I have jobs that I don’t have to travel and there are jobs that I have to travel 25-50% at a time. You get so tired after the meeting you don’t feel the need to do anything else. You also have to be sharp to attend meetings the following day. Once you done with the purpose of the trip, you just want to get home. It gets tired after a while. Sleeping in different hotel rooms is not ideal(not at my age), the comfort of home triumphs. </p>

<p>Well my interest in travel is not entirely for fun, but if fun and strict work are the only reasons I would travel as a CS major, then from what you (DrGoogle) told me, it is best that I focus on staying in one place to work and live.</p>

<p>I know a website called Codeacademy, if that’s what you (PengsPhils) mean by a programming medium. I was going to try to see what it could teach me about Java scripting.</p>

<p>Unless I was to overcome some of these weaknesses and find a true interest in math and programming, it is best to go with some other career where I am confident in my ability to work under pressure, is what it sounds like. Do you know much about what are some of the jobs geography majors take up?</p>

<p>It’s best to earn enough money to travel for fun is my advice.
As for work under pressure, even for CS internships, from what I’ve read, companies give you project to solve and run and some time some of the students did not accomplish them.</p>

<p>Ah. Just out of curiosity, if I minor in CS, can I get an IT job? What is it like to work an IT job? If not, what is a good minor and job for generating decent money?</p>

<p>I really want to move to a different country some day soon after college, but I’m gonna go ahead and assume that it is next-to-impossible, so I might just move to a different state or try to make a life for myself in Memphis or something.</p>
