[SIZE=13px]Hey guys, I'm really struggling to decide which of these two offers I should accept.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]1) [/SIZE][URL='http://www.findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/programs/Computer%20Science'][SIZE=13px]Computer Science[/SIZE][/URL]
[SIZE=13px]2) [/SIZE][URL='http://www.findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/programs/Mathematics-Financial%20Analysis%20and%20Risk%20Management'][SIZE=13px]Mathematics/Financial Analysis and Risk Management[/SIZE][/URL]

[SIZE=13px]I don't want to give a lot of details on my current stance on the decision as I've found that it tends to get me answers such as "go with what you're passionate about" or gives off a bias in others' opinions on the programs. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]I'm looking for any comments you guys may have on either program and which one, if given the choice, you would prefer. Thanks a lot to anyone who replies, this is a big decision and I appreciate your advice! Smile[/SIZE]

EDIT: Ok, I'm going to add some more information. I love math, technology, and finance. My highest goal for either program would be to continue on and become either a software designer at Google/Facebook or some big tech company, or become a Quantitative Analyst. My nightmare would be having a job that requires me to act as a typical "scumbag businessman" where I need to gather clients and lie to their faces to make money.

[SIZE=13px]NOTE: I'm not just going with whatever you guys tell me to go with, the reason I don't like answers that say "go with what you're passionate about" is that I already know this and I'm trying to get information that I can use to make the right decision.[/SIZE]

Math/FARM is better than CS. CS makes you take many courses that you might not like.

First off, sorry about the messed up BBCode, I typed this up on another forum and Ctrl+V'd it.

Anyway, which courses?
