Military Veteran with Options. Should I keep pursuing CS?
I am a military veteran student getting ready to apply to universities. I’m current a California community college student and going to be applying to CSUs , UCs , and some out of state schools. Long story short I have enough benefits to get a PHD or (multiple degrees if I choose to) all without having to take student loans out. I am extremely grateful that I don’t have to worry about tuition or student loans and I know this is not the case for everyone but I guess the military has its perks.
Now for the main reason I’m writing this. I am current pursuing computer science as a major but due to all this AI stuff plus the job market for software engineering I have been reluctant to continue my undergrad studies in this major. I have thought about pivoting to mathematics as my undergrad then figuring out a masters degree after that.
Looking to get some opinions on this plan or if there is anything else I should consider. I want to stay in the STEM field but open to other suggestions. The world is tough right now and I know I am in an awesome situation but I just want to maximize this opportunity. Thank you in advance.
