I am thinking of changing my major...am I crazy?

Asked by yankeetooter (9651points) November 27th, 2011

I returned to school about three years ago, and it’s been going slowly. (I work a full time job, and can only go to school in the evening and on Saturdays). I was majoring in math/secondary education, and I already work as an assistant teacher at a school.

I am taking a programming course (required) this semester, the first one I have ever taken, and I love it! I do not want to make any rash decisions just yet, but I am seriously considering switching to a double major of math and computer science. I could still get promoted to teacher at my school, once I complete my bachelor’s in math (and get certified), if I decided to stay.

Many of the required courses overlap, so that it wouldn’t be too much difference between the math and the math/secondary education requirements…and then I could see if I want to stick with the programming end of it too.

I know that part of it is just that I am feeling burnt out as far as my current job is concerned, and I don’t want to base my decision solely on that, but I really think that I want to do this. Thoughts?
