canada computers review

Should I continue in computer science?
I’m an undergrad 3rd year computer science student. I’ve always wanted to major in something I like, and at least at one point I did, but I find it hard to have that spark now. I think I still like the subject itself but I’m tired of being a code monkey at work and unmotivated classes that only seek to slap marks. I just finished a work term as a software developer and got negative reviews from my employer. I don’t feel like I enjoy the atmosphere – maybe I’m naturally contrarian, but at the end of the day I don’t feel like talking to another IT person, let alone “network”. At my university (Univ. of Waterloo in Canada) I’m pretty much stuck in CS or a math field and have taken few courses besides CS/math. Ironically, I could aim for grad school, which might mean more interesting things to work on, but could also dig me deeper into a CS hole.
Any comments would be welcome.
Why don’t you finish your degree first and then decide whether you want to do further studies in another field.
The reason I suggest complete your degree first is because majority of entry level jobs out there do not require a specific degree. For example, you can get into some commerce field with a computer science degree.
