Word. Congrats!
I need to decide IT or nursing very soon cause picking out fall classes. Is a "cybersecurity" degree worth anything or do I want a straight up CS path? Nursing is more my calling, I think, but I do have some serious issues with authority and that job puts in a subordinate position, likely forever. Everyone has to deal with a boss though and I'm willing to suck it up. As far as IT goes... I'd love to be autonomous but logic, math, and non-verbal intelligence aren't my strong points. I'm not weak in them, but I wouldn't be a prodigy. I'm stupid good in verbal.. Need input, halp!

I watched a lot of people go through CS with not much interest in it (as a math person that had to do some CS, I had a genuine interest in it and literally shit on all the pure CS nerds that were just looking for a fat paycheck someday). They couldn't land jobs because CS just never clicked for them. You'll get some bullshit low-tier programming job in this market, but probably ain't worth it if you're not going to actually enjoy it.
What do you like to do on the daily? What drives you? What can you spend hours doing and not think twice about it? Write them down. Think of what they tap into inside you (creative energy, problem solving, etc). Use that as a basis for what you want to look into.
