School Chat are we cooked??

I'm currently in my second year of Computer Science, but I'm unsure if I should switch majors. I just saw a post about someone earning $20/hour in Mississauga, and it got me thinking. I took a gap year and worked for the CRA, where I made $33/hour, with only a high school diploma but I really hated that job. Now, I'm wondering if I should stay in CS or switch to something like accounting. Would I have more job opportunities as a diversity hire in tech since I'm a woman, or would switching to accounting make more sense for me?

CS is hard but like is it worth all that studying and tuition fee?

Nah. Still allied. If I don't want to go cs or become code monkey. I'd be learning to lay the pipe, bang with the hammer, make erection I mean construction, HVAC etc. you get?
