<p>Well, I like solving problems, and being mentally challenged. I also have an interest in doing stuff in the financial sector.</p>
<p>CS is good for my first two interests, but there’s a fairly large amount of grunt work involved - spending so much time finding that teeny tiny error that messed up your whole program is a pain in the buttocks. Plus, I hear the workload for a CS/EECS major gets exponentially harder later on. Ideally, I would want a major that has a sane workload (where you don’t have to pull allnighters if you manage yourtime correctly), and is mentally challenging. And of course, decent pay.</p>
<p>I’ve also been considering Applied Math: can anyone here attest to the workload and pay?</p>
