If I were talking to my child I would tell them first off that they’ll be working their whole life and so should try to do a job they’re going to enjoy. The reality is that job also needs to pay the bills. Making more money isn’t always a key to happiness if the job is miserable. Starving while doing what you love isn’t actually ideal either. Somewhere in between is probably best.

You sound to me like you’re ping-ponging around and not actually sure what you really want to do. Changing majors and chasing a large salaried job may or may not work out. I’d be leary about your shaky math skills. You’re also looking at spending more money on more classes in a totally different direction.

What do you actually want to do? What are you passionate about? What would make you happy? What could you do for a career that would provide you support for yourself and still be interesting? Only you can answer these questions. It sounds like you really need to do some soul searching and think hard about your future.There are also plenty of careers that don’t require a college degree. Some computer jobs are attainable with just the right skills being learned.

I applaud you for seeking advice. I’m sure someone else will have something to add.
