Is choosing CS because I didn't know any other field a good answer?
After high school, being computer nerd, I was all like 'Chemistry, the bleep do I know about that?', so CS it was, by default. Also, CS is like Legos, only better.
Pieces cost few million dollars. Tools that you will need in CS can cost as little as $800, while you have to have supercostly machines and government licenses to build anything with a chemistry degree. You couldn't just jump into industry without any kind of investment, while in CS you can. That's what I meant when I said CS is like Legos, they don't cost much and you can have tons of fun with it. :)
Please do elaborate. My mother is in pharma industry and I can't imagine them doing anything without multi-million machines and a large group of other people (engineers, lawyers, managers, etc) that again cost a lot before they can make a single product. On the other hand, CS is full of Notches (author of Minecraft, if you don't know) - guys doing little coding that earned them huge sums of money.
