Switching Major from SWE to cyber Security ?
I completed an associates in computer programming, but taking intro to software engineering in my first semester of university I realized I actually hate coding and dread doing it. I thought of switching to cyber security instead cause its less coding. I honestly hate coding at this point or at least that's how university makes me feel. Everywhere says don't switch stick with SWE (software engineering), but I literally have started dreading going to class. It doesn't help that everywhere on the internet says everyone can code now and unless you're real passionate you won't ever make it. I'm scared to switch to cyber security cause everyone says it too is a over saturated market ,but at least maybe I won't dread it like I do SWE? When I was in community college I was so happy to learn coding, but now I never want to look at it again, but I need to finish a bachelor's degree in something. Any advice is appreciated ,Seriously please help! I feel really lost ....
