Hello
I was wondering if i could get some opinions. This has nothing to do with Project 4, but i need some serious opinions. I wanted to do CS when I was in HS b/c of course the money, but I also had a very good(and easy) hs programming teacher. So everyone tried to scare me out of CS when i came to UT, and i decided to go for it b/c i liked computers and i saw nothing else to do. So i took Seaman for 307, and almost made an 'a'. So i was like, well maybe i am really cut out for this. In CS 315, i had a lot of help from a friend of mine, but i think i learned a lot and got a B. CS 310 I had to take twice, but actually enjoyed learning it the second time around the right way. PHL 313K I enjoyed (b/c I had Dever) and actually made an A. CS 336 was a joke with Emerson, we overed hardly anything at all and almost made a B. So now im taking this class and feel completely lost. It seems im lost when it comes to C++ syntax and putting together these projects. I feel very overwhelmed and am beginning to think im not made for CS. I actually dont like coding at all, i actually hate it. But i love problem solving and the abstract concepts of CS.Basically, i wanna drop this class and switch to business. How feasible do you guys think this is, and is it a good idea. If I drop this class, id have a 3.24 gpa and a year of easy business school basics to bring it up to at most a 3.4 - 3.5. Could i get in the bschool with that? I just feel im so far into CS, ive wasted so much, but i dont think i wanna code like this, ever! I wanna make a lot of money, but i think business would be a lot easier and more worth the effort. What do yall think? Im ready to drop this damn class and this damn major! I cant even get an Internship anywhere. I just feel really lost and wanted some opinions.
Thnakds alot
