Networks slash CS

Last time I was deciding which major I should choose I made the wrong turn and it costed me 4 years of my life (which I don’t regret, except that..) - I can’t really waste 4 more years.

Networks. I most likely will end up being a network administrator. The title totally rocks, the pay will probably be in chunks, and the courses although sound as if they’re quite hard are going to be pretty much fun to learn. Although networks is a very convincing major to lay on, if there wasn’t any alternatives, despite the fact that I’ll be the kind of person that does loads of theory work before actually implementing anything on real-life, which then will contain plenty of hardware work and less software work - I am just guessing. The job sounds.. decent, and stable.

Computer Science. I’ve come to believe programming is my passion. Developing is just my thing. After I finish this major I end up being a system engineer, or just a computer programmer. There are plenty of hardware interaction too but at the end of the day, I’ll be a software guy. I end up knowing pretty much everything about the interns of a computer; how it works, how to fix things, etc. If I choose this major (and I think I will if nothing new comes up), I could choose an academic career and do further studies, even could teach computer science. If I do choose CS, I’ll end up being supervised by my favourite professor - which is something that will definitely push me forward.

Advice welcome.
