Trouble choosing a major.

[iAmAzN]

Hey everyone, long time lurker here.

So I will be entering my sophomore year of college in the fall but as of right now, I'm 50/50 on choosing a major. I hope to either go into chemical engineering or computer science (programming). I was wondering if anyone here is/are in any of these fields so I can get a perspective on that? Like, what sort of traits or qualities I should have (ie. patience, uber math skills, etc.) or how rigorous work schedules are? Any other information regarding either of the fields would be extremely helpful!

Thanks for the help!

Don't think Chemical Engineering would rule out a advanced programming job, since it is likely a skill you might need for some of the jobs.

Can always bone up on the programming classes while taking the Chemical Eng. courses.

I took a minor in business while I was taking engineering classes, and it definitely was a welcome break... would have liked to take some of the advanced programming classes but didn't have the time.

I'm a computer science major, and an applied physics minor. I was 50/50 tell this semester when I basically said "computer science is way more fun lets go with that." I mean work is 1/3 your life after college so why not like it.

Pick the one that's the most entertaining to you and go with it. Both look promising.

Edit: I have a crap load of math courses right now, I hate the pre-rec's . I also have a lot a physic's (and I can't figure out why )

Couldn't tell you what to pick, since I was a liberal arts major. But I would say speak to an advisor, and go with whichever one you enjoy most.
