I seem to recall you saying you were a CS student once or twice, or am I confusing you with somebody else?
You probably are. I'm only a highschool student (despite what you said on the rww page - you also misspelled "Septmeber"), and have never done any (formal) CS. More an enthusiastic amateur.
Ok, now I feel very old. I actually learned more in high school than in the first 3 semesters of college. What language do they have you useing?
'anceint' you are. I don't even do the stuff at school - they do Visual Basic 6 for goodness sake... I originally learned QBASIC from a book in primary school, but I've since moved on to C/C++/C#, dabbling elsewhere as well.
Possibly, though the parents would rather something else. Maths, maybe?
Do what you like doing. I know far too many people whose parents forced them into majors they didn't like(usually chemical engineering).
So that's why there are more than two chemists in the world. I was beginning to wonder...
There's always minors, and double majors.
When you start college, you should take any advice your professors give you under serious consideration. I was not intending to be a scientist when I started my course of study, but my professors steered me into it.
Perhaps you should consider joining the cognitive revolution, comrade! Certain areas of cognitive science heavily draw on computer science.
