Goodbye Computer Science, Hello Decision Science!

So. The deed is done.

I dropped CSCI 145 Intro to Programming II (Ada).

Which also means that I am dropping out of the Computer Science major, as this class is a required class for that major.

I talked to academic advising before doing the deed, and asked what major would be appropriate for me. She told me about the College of Business' majors in Management Information Systems, the IT training track. (Turns out it's where a lot of the "can't cut it in CompSci" folks end up going.) I met with the head of the MIS department this week, and we both agreed it would be a good fit. With possible career tracks in Systems Analysis, Database Management and Website Development, it's a logical fit for me. Employers like Microsoft, Boeing, Safeco all recruit from the department. (Not that I would *ever* work for Microsoft. Probably.)

And there's a growing job market, bouncing back from the dot.com boom and bust of a few years ago. The time is right.

I'm feeling good about this decision.

But I never would have thought in a million years I would be getting a business degree!
