i decided to switch after getting buttmad from a few lousy cs professors (i denied it at the time but im ready to admit that it was a partial cause) but also because, despite programming in my spare time since i was like 12, i discovered that i kinda hate it, and would really hate being a software developer (which would be the career of the majority of cs majors). i still program a lot in my spare time, and i even recently pulled the trigger and put linux on my desktop :)
i decided to do try for graduate because either it would open up better industry jobs (far more interesting jobs than a bs could get you, i dont really care about salary, i just want a cool job), or become a researcher, which is a path i think i would really enjoy
im planning on starting undergraduate research soon, so i guess we’ll see whether its right for me, but the motivation i got just from the decision is incredible, im actually studying and doing homework which i never used to do, and i got a fuggin A+ on my dif eq exam, which i thought would be impossible
