Is a degree worth it?

I haven’t seen the other threads. I looked up computer science at Columbia. https://www.cs.columbia.edu/education/undergraduate/

You can continue with a BA in computer science and do music as a double major, minor or extracurricular.
Or you can continue in the college and then go to SEAS (Engineering) if you want a BS.

There are many ways to do computer science and keep music in your life, and the two fields intersect as well.

I don’t understand the problem.

You want NYC or Pittsburgh? Keep it simple.
