i hope you know that just because you're pursuing a CompSci major doesn't automatically guarantee you anything once you're out of college, and it's a shame that so many people have this mentality. just study what you're passionate about and let the rest fall into place.

That's the problem. We don't live in a society where doing what you're passionate about pays the bills.

Passion second, bills first.

Try as you might, you can't escape it. The only slightly better chance somebody has, is doing the whole pay the bills routine, while still juggling what they're passionate about.

If they're lucky, in the long run, their passion stands a chance of being so honed and well defined that it can instead pay the bills while staying as a passion at the same time.

Most peoples' passions involve self-fulfillment rather than contributing to society in some economically meaningful way. Working skilled labor gives you the income necessary to express your passions in your free time.

Unfortunately the farther along your career you go the more it bleeds into your personal life until you don't have much free time to do things with.

If you know, you know.
If you'll need any help, ask. I've got my CS degree.
what type of courses would you recommend as supplements

an english minor is sort of a weird addendum, but i'm doing it because i don't want the english credits that i do have to go to waste
Microsoftvirtualacademy.com has a software development fundementals course. Check it out.

What has nobody else caring but me got to do with anything?

Also, I'm not targeting this one in particular, but you said "AMA".

the fact that no one else cares probably means that you shouldn't care either

I hope coding is fun for you. I came in with zero knowledge of syntax and there is some innate satisfaction I get when things compile.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I hear people say Uni is the place where your enthusiasm comes to die. Funny how that is the complete opposite of what Uni's were created for (as well as the advancement of research and technology, guess that still holds up).

A shame you had to change because Stability>Interests, but considering what I've heard how funding goes for American Universities it's understandable.

But don't end up being "that guy"

Just make sure you get something out of it.

Settling for something that you think would be economically stable over something you genuinely care about demands a lot out of you. You can't half-ass it and you can't enjoy it either.
