I entered college with EE (Electrical Engineering) in mind.
After one semester, I thought it wasn't for me as it was hard to get an access electronic equipment whenever I wanted to.
I was also taking a programming course and was readily available 24 hours as all I had to do was to connect to a remote server.
And what got me hooked was that feedback was immediate.
All EE course labs lasted hours or even days.
When I was able to light a light bulb after 4 hours of designing and messing around with breadboard, I was like, that's it. I am going CS.
Confession: I was more into practical side of programming so was pretty bad at academic theoretical topics.
