I am glad you came to those who have went through the struggle and not the school advisors. Never listen to the student advisor .. you will end up messing up a lot of courses you wished you took (prereq, coreq, easy courses, hard courses, audit classes ..etc). But in the end you should take a day, (or a week if you have that much) and do nothing except figure out what you want to do with no distraction. Hell make a report about it; make your argument solid as a rock; talk to the final year students they know the rough ends. Just make sure the last opinion/decision is yours and not some kind of 'inception'. Dont let the opinions of others get under your skin. This is what I wished I did at the start ..no worries life goes on for me and now I am finishing up a Software Eng Minor with a Chemical Engineering Major hoping to continue studies in Computer Science. It took me half or more of my academic span to have it click in my head , never listen to the advisors. Good Luck no... Great Success man. You already have your startup, positive visualization :D
