That’s interesting. I began as a Physics major, and loved Laser and Optics, Electrical Circuits, Mechanics, all the labs really. But then I got to upper division Quantum Mechanics and I hated it. I was pushing around Schroedinger equations all day to get the correct answers but I never had a firm mental model on what was actually going on behind the math. I ended up switching my major to Mechanical Engineering. In hind sight I should have jus stuck it out because I ended writing software for a living anyway :)
