I'm a senior in Computer Science, and I've only got one real suggestion.

And it's more of a question, really. Are you naturally inclined to be techy? Have you experimented with some HTML, run a linux distribution or two, dabbled with some networking, skinned some programs, or anything else that the normal population hasn't done? If not, you need to get out of the major. It's a difficult one at most schools, but it's virtually impossible if you're not already a computer nerd, to some extent. Every year I see a few freshmen who aren't computer people think that it might be interesting to learn about computers, and enter the major. Every one has dropped out. It's just not the sort of major you can succeed in without some prior knowledge.
Assuming you ARE techy, though, and you know what you're getting into. . .congrats. No offense, but English is a pretty useless subject. Interesting, to be sure (I'm not trying to make English majors mad at me) but very few jobs are available, and the ones that are there don't pay much.
Congrats on the comp sci.

So I just changed my major from Education (English) to Computer Science with a Minor in Business
