Job Satisfaction

General quality of life statement

You're going to be pretty well off. Continuing the comparison between you and computer science majors, you're definitely not going to be making as much money as a computer science graduate, but these numbers are nothing to scoff at. It will probably still be enough for you to afford some luxuries, like week-long vacations to a faraway country or fancy schmancy cars.

At first, as you compete for those entry-level jobs against computer science majors, things might be a little difficult financially (as well as emotionally—job hunting is often quite draining). However, by the end of your career, you'll be living quite comfortably, and you'll probably forget about the early darker days. And hey, if it's any consolation, chances are you'll feel a bit more satisfied in your job (47% as compared to computer science majors at 45%).
