Exact same situation. I'm switching majors.

Edit: Another thought: Computer Science is boring as hell. Even the tiniest bit of ADD makes it impossible. Even a person without ADD will probably show some symptoms of it. Rather than figuring out ways to just "get through it", I think avoiding this situation altogether is a better solution.

Dude, I'm pretty sure I have ADD aswell, switching majors wont fix anything (somehow I did 2 degree's Computational finance and computer science). Switching wont fix anything!

Probably business. Something exciting. Sitting at a computer or solving math problems all day is a nightmare, even though I've been doing it forever. These things are usually a "sudden realization".

Software engineers employ math sometimes, but the real world is nowhere near like solving problem sets and writing proofs.

You use this theoretical platform to empower your work and improve it.
