  1. My thoughts for you:

     

    - Fall in love, get married and have kids. Get a house or nicer apt

     

    Great idea - Im in the above situation however realize that wife and kids cost $$$ - saving for college and everything else requires a great deal of cash - Buying a house depending are where you are living is also a major expense.

     

     

    Ill ignore the rest since they are hobbies as listed.

     

    As for your major and not liking 'coding' I would ahve you think about this:

     

    Its a big change to find out that something you love or have an interest in (web page design) turns out to suck when applied to a job. I loved to program games on my ATari 800 - I was set for a career in Comp Sci (wasnt good enough for games) - When I graduated and starting looking for a job it was an eye opener that 'cool' jobs werent out there for what I was qualified for. However, work is what you to do have fun. There are very few opportunities where you can walk out of college into a cool/fun/well paying job right off the bat. Usually you need to work you way through the corporate ladder to get exposure to different types of jobs/such.

     

    I went from coder to consultant to sales. I dont code much at all anymore (miss it) - but I put my foundation in place piece by piece. Short cuts are far and few inbetween. Id finish out school since a degree is worth its weight in gold - once out then decide how you choose to move forward.

     

    Just my $0.02
