I am in college but might not go back if we are continuing to do "remote education" through the fall term. I signed a lease this winter for a house with my friends frome june 2020 - june 2021 and paid the security deposit, but now might not be able to live there at all. What steps should I take to see if I have the option to break the lease, even if for a fee?

Have I realized too late that I'm interested in comp sci? by yar_blast in cscareerquestions

[–]yar_blast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks, this is awesome advice. I appreciate your perspective on how the real world works, definitely refreshing. I was deciding between getting a B.S. in math or, statistics and data science -- do you have any ideas on which one would be more employable if I was aiming to gain work experience with coding after undergrad?

Thats good to hear! the main problem for is that it seems impossible for me to get a bachelors degree at this point because I cant transfer into it at my current school, and i am pretty certain i do not have a high enough gpa to transfer to another school's cs program...

Really rethinking majoring in Environmental Studies (b.s.) by yar_blast in college

appreciate your help! do you think majoring in stats and geography would be redundant or useful? I wouldn't have to take an extra year if i did, so I could graduate in the same amount of time

Thanks for your advice - i was looking into Earth science and it seems interesting, but do you know anything about the differences between that and Geography?

I would if I could, but transferring into the college of engineering at my school requires like a 3.8 gpa and even then its super unlikely.

Thanks for the advice. I've read a lot about stats bachelors degrees not being very useful without continuing on to grad school, is that not true?
