I'm an incoming freshman at a non-target big 10 school pretty much faced with this dilemma, considering my school is fantastic for CS but only sends like 5 kids to IB every year. I clearly am nowhere near an expert on these topics but I'm trying to figure out what I want to do as by sophomore year, I won't have the space to take classes from both CS and finance and be on track to graduate.

Tbh, tech has always been fascinating to me, but I tend to struggle with the logic and problem solving aspect. Basically, I'm worried that if I decide to go down the route, I'm going to end up being frustrated from not being able to solve solutions and not be competitive for FAANG type jobs.

At the same time, I simply don't know yet if I can handle the workload an intensity of an IB job, despite also having an interest in finance. The work/life balance is basically nonexistent but the exit opportunities are attractive. Obviously I'm nowhere near even getting to that point, but I need to figure out what to major in and dive into searching for an internship in that field.
