Having no interests in CSci but too late to change

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm currently in CS & Math and there is only one year and a half from finishing both majors. But none of the my CS classes I have taken are interesting to me. I think math is good but CS is very tedious. Those parts of math that are related to CS are tedious too. I considered dropping my CS major and just keep math but I'm afraid I will be unemployed if I failed to get into a graduate school and transfer to a business-related major (like finance). I know many math majors do that.</p>

<p>I have always been thinking about applying for graduate schools. But I can't imagine doing something I don't like for a master degree. It must be a nightmare. Also since I have no motivation in CS and never done any research, I don't know any of CS faculties who will potentially write recommendation letters for me. This will surely make my graduate school application procedure very tough.</p>

<p>For now I (think I) kind of like mechanical engineering. When I'm doing my extremely boring CS homework in the computer lab, I glanced at people near me who are solving mechanics problems or drawing 3-D aircraft (maybe they're AEM major) and this made me admire them so much. But the problem is I have only 1.5 years from graduating, it's impossible to change my majors (I have already spent 4 years in college). I guess it's also impossible for me to get in a mechanical engineering graduate problem since I have no background in it. So this really confuse me a lot. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for your time and any suggestions are appreciated!</p>

<p>The math majors who go into finance or actuarial jobs commonly supplement their majors with statistics, finance, and economics courses. Some CS knowledge is also useful.</p>

<p>For actuarial jobs, you can take a look at [Be</a> an Actuary](<a href=“http://www.beanactuary.com%5DBe”>http://www.beanactuary.com) , which contains recommendations for current college students.</p>

<p>You might consider just minoring in CS. A math major with a CS minor is qualified for most software jobs in the industry. You do not generally need a master’s in CS to get a job, given your undergrad background.</p>
