If your classes are teaching you things you already know take different classes.

I knew a guy who was an amazing programmer. Wrote his own operating system and did projects like real-time ray tracing and speech recognition while in high school. He decided to get his degree in physics specifically because he felt he already knew most of the CS stuff, but didn't know a lot about physics. His line of thought was why go to school to learn something you already know when there are so many things you don't know that they can teach you? That always struck me as a very clever way to look at things, and I've often wondered why more people who complain about how "easy" their CS courses are don't do the same.

In fact, Peteris from catonmat.net did just that, get a physics degree instead of CS.

I did the same. After 2 semesters of CS, I switched to Physics. I still work as a software engineer, but paying to not learn anything is a waste of time. Physics is much more interesting in academia.
