I am currently in the University of Maryland, College Park (Junior year).
I just found out my teacher wants to fail me because I didnt make a "Serious Attempt" on one of his projects. Knowing him, he probably wont change his mind and will be stuck retaking his class. On top of this, I am lookign at failing another Comp sci class cause I didnt do so hot on the 2nd mid-term. Now I come to a crossroad in my college career and perhaps my life. Should I take this opportunity and re-evaluate where I want to head in my life or continue to in a major I absolutely hate and perhaps graduate with a degree in it. I have only 4 repeat credits, not enough to repeat both these classes and I have not yet even entered 400 level classes.
I entered Computer Science looking at exellent pay and I liked computers...but as time passed, this major was just something I was stuck with...I was too stubborn to reconsider my choices even after I knew this major wasn't for me. Now with almost all my repeat credits gone, I am left with a decision to finally take a step to gain control of life. In my mind, I am already ready to change majors to anything but Comp Sci....but I always feel that this is the pussy way out of things....
What are my choices in term of majors? I know that any major outside CS and engineering, I will have no problem getting A's and B's instead of trying to get C's. I have been entertaining the idea of Criminal Justice (I can work for the feds?), ECON, COMM and Education (My passion cause I love people and children, but it has horrible pay).
Should I stick it through to the bitter end or change now and take my loses? Btw, I have will have 90 credits hours
