Yea, I kind of took a similar route. I was so bored near the end of my business major and tacked on a comp sci minor at the end. Those few classes I took were amazingly interesting then and most are still with me now. I was lucky enough to have a business internship while in school where I was exposed to the tech side of things and that got me extremely interested in and motivated by computer science. I'm often curious about what a full degree would have given me or if I would have had a better career if I went the comp sci route from the start. At least for me, I feel like I've learned close to 99% of what I know now from work and from learning in my free time after school. I feel so lucky to genuinely enjoy my job and be interested in learning more and expanding on my skills even to this day.
