I’m about 66% done with my BS in Data Analytics and I’m seriously considering switching to a BS in IT Management.

The problem is… I just compared both degree plans. If I stay in Data Analytics, I have fewer classes left (second photo)—but they’re getting really technical and honestly I’m starting to realize this might not align with what I actually want long-term.

IT Management feels like a much better fit for me career-wise (more internal, less technical, more aligned with how I like to work), BUT it would add quite a few more classes (first photo) 😭

So now I’m stuck:

Do I push through the Data Analytics degree since I’m closer to the finish line, even though it’s harder and not really aligned…

OR switch to IT Management, add a lot more classes, but finish with something that actually fits me better?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar spot or works in either field. What would you do?
