I think its a decent major with ample job availablity. Every business needs tech bros so you will always be needed. Not sure how satuarated the market is though

It's a good major, but I've been told that because of the nature of computer science, what you learn 2-3 years prior will be obsolete by the time you graduate.

Not sure how much truth there is in that statement. As long as you major in something practical you'll be alright.

computer science is a solid major, hopefully you're good at math

and if you want more of a hardware aspect on things, computer engineering

Computer science is very competitive, I'm sure you're smart enough though!

You're pretty much a math major, like I hope you realize that is almost what 90% of the major is about. Honestly I feel like electrical engineering or really any sort of engineering would be a better just because I feel you can do more with it, and it's pretty much the exact same amount of work.
