What can I do with a useless major?

I met with my friend the other day and had a long talk. He goes to UCLA and we were discussing how he want to change his major from mechanical engineering to computer science. Which I though was great, but he feared that he would not be allowed to do so because he might have failed his data structures class. Now this got me thinking about my abilities. If He is vastly smarter than me, and he still did not manage to passed a UC level data structures class, then what chance do I have at passing it, or even majoring in computer science. He excelled in math and science all thought out high school and he would have be valedictorian if it weren’t for our crappy middle school. So I was thinking that If I decided to major in computer science, I would probably get weeded out. This is why I was so hesitant about going to UCSD, since I just wanted to go there to major in CS. If I were to get weeded out UCSD’s CS, then not only would I lose CS as my major, but also UCLA. This makes it really bad since I prefer everything about UCLA over UCSD, but the major. So should I just change my major RIGHT to engineering geology and spare myself the trouble and not even try UC level CS classes?
