There's nothing good about computer science. I try to dissuade people from making my mistake everyday.
Throw it all away op. Study and do what you actually want to. You can't be miserable all your life. That's what I'm going to do. I'll take the pay cut so I can actually do something worthwhile

Don't fall for the CS meme unless you're autistic enough to have a huge FOSS portfolio from a young age - you'll be stuck using the latest gimmick stacks and mobile app/web trends.
