cj, as a fellow 19 year old University student I kind of know how you feel, especially with respect to your friends lacking ambition. If I could graduate now and get into real work I think I would really enjoy it. Some of the classes I have to take, or the work I have to do seems really boring and irrelevant. For example we were required to take a course on Probability which was taught by a terrible prof and through the whole semester all I could think about was working on something real and exciting.

However, I'm studying Computer Science (my program, Business Informatics, is actually half CS and half business) and I'm very glad I chose this program because in one of my first classes I met another student who is just as passionate and driven as I am. We've become great friends and recently started working on some software we hope to work on over the summer and launch.

So I was going to ask if you've considered switching from Neuroscience to CS? Or perhaps consider dropping in on some CS classes? You probably stand a better chance of finding like-minded students there. Who knows, there could be someone just like you eager to work on software and get into startups.

Just my two cents...
