This is excellent advice!

Also when I went to apply for grad school in cs and told them I had a CS BS
they practically roled out the carpet. Of those who did their masters there
at that time only about 10% of us had CS undergrad degrees. I expect this
is still true; the CS BS guys hit the job market and start making $, they
don't take more classes.

Trying to get a feel for cs before you burn any bridges is a real good
idea. It is not easy to earn a cs degree. The good thing is that most
people seem to find out pretty quickly that they can do it and like it, or
not.

Thanks,
