Well, I remember being 22 and thinking it was too late to change my path. Or at least it was society/peer pressure telling me it was too late.

At 22, you shouldn't be changing your major, you should be accepting reality and getting a job, I was told.

When I look back, I get so angry. Nobody was supporting me. I was supporting myself. So what if I would be in school for another couple of years.

The schools in Florida (except maybe for the New School ) didn't even have what I wanted to major in.

The disadvantages of a backward state. No wonder IBM bailed out of Boca.

Phan, you are a smart, responsible guy. I believe the difficulties you spell out are valid.
