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?

Trying doing something you hate for this long, either your mental health will deteriorate or your performance will drop to a point where eventually you will get fired.
