Hey everyone I kinda need some insight on what to do next with my life because I honestly don’t know what I should do or what’s the best option in the long run.
So right now I’m currently a 20 year old CC student (21 in April) and have been in this community college for 2 years but only have 16 credits due to dropped classes and withdraws, I’m currently taking Algebra 2 and Trig, Health and English 105 but might have to drop Algebra 2 and Trig due to me failing for the third time in a row.
As of recent I was accepted to the University at Buffalo as a undeclared major and now i’m in a situation where I truly don’t know what I should go about doing. I know i’m behind in math but should I still go to Buffalo as a Computer Science hopeful and do well there and slowly build my way up to Calculus 1 or should I just do something else
Here are my options:
Go to Buffalo as a Comp Sci hopeful and take pre reqs to slowly get to Calc 1
Go to Buffalo as a different major (English, Psychology, Media Study, etc)
Stay at CC but continue Comp Sci then transfer when you reach Calc 1
Drop out of College
Here are my reasons of wanting to do Comp Sci:
Job security
Vast number of entry level jobs out of college
Salary
Interest in video game development (Though I have never learned Code yet)
Here are my strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths: I love to Write, Draw, play Video games, read books, learn about new technology, try out technology.
Weaknesses: Math, Math, Math.
Another thing that should be said is my house is really unstable, I feel like when I’m in home I cant really learn because I’m surrounded by so many distractions. I’m currently 20 years old and feel like i’m missing out on having friends and the college experience as a whole and I feel like this hole is making me not do as well in college as I should be. What should I do?
