I also thought I would be bored with CS (well not with the subjects... with the nerdiness) so I decided to study design at University. I knew that whatever happened I would always eventually end up doing a lot of code as it's something I always enjoyed doing even if just for the sake of learning how something works.

Now I'm a web developer and after having worked in one of the most interesting design studios in my country I'm pretty sure my previous choices helped a lot broaden my horizons.

The Advice I give to a lot of people on the importance of school is that one should use it to learn the things you wouldn't learn by yourself anyway. So sometimes boring might be good if it's useful.
