I agree with your "Why not?" point. If you are already in college and plan to do 4 years, you might as well get a cs degree. For me it was too late to switch majors when I found out how much I loved programming. And it really wasn't worth it to do a 5th year. But I did take as many courses as I could before I graduated.
- lloyd-christmas 11y ago"why not" comes down to time. There are things I enjoy more than programming. Most of these things I know I wouldn't be successful enough at in a professional sense. I might as well spend that magical time in college where nothing actually matters to pursue some other passions.
- kasey_junk 11y agoNothing wrong with that reasoning at all. That said, studying both should be an option. And you might consider those other things as a profession anyway. The magical time after college lasts a lot longer and being stuck doing something you don't like sounds terrible.
