[quote=Anonymous]"Either you love programming/Comp Sci or you don't, and if you don't have the passion for it, it will definitely be a struggle to get through all the courses needed for a degree." There are a few exceptions to this. Lots of mathematicians don't love either programming or CS and won't struggle picking up CS. People with strong abilities to pick up foreign languages also may not struggle. But your basic jack of all trades Engineer, even with a solid HS math, HS science and some programming experience can struggle without CS passion because they live and die by intuition and/or tinkering. Those traits are great to have but don't cover the full range of skills for proofs, new algorithms or even longer programs.[/quote]
