Loved reading this. Thanks for sharing :) You clearly made a great choice and I should have taken option 2 but stuck out chemical engineering for all the wrong reasons. I'm self-taught now and I totally agree with you that it's doable.
I know a couple of others that switched like us. :) I think I was lucky to have learned programming right before I failed those classes! It's hard to know what all of the options are... can we normalize 5-year college programs? It'd be great to spend a whole year exploring different areas of study so you know what you really want to do. Everyone's in a rush to get out in 4 years.
