Having no interests in CSci but too late to change
Hello,
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your time and any suggestions are appreciated!
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.
For actuarial jobs, you can take a look at Be an Actuary , which contains recommendations for current college students.
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.
