I definitely value the experience more than the money, and I would love to start my own start-up(s). The problem with that; however, is that I don't have the knowledge to physically build my ideas. That's what the E.E. major is for.

Maybe I should stick with the E.E. major and work on CompSi&Coding in my free time.

Right, I would stick with the E.E. major if that's what you are more interested in. You don't need the CS degree to be a programmer and the E.E. degree would be enough to show that you got the brains.

As for start-up building, all the more reason to give it a go. As with anything, you learn by doing. You know nothing about building your ideas, but once you take a shot you learn a lot more about it. You don't need to shoot for the stars. Try something small.

Computer science, EE, and coding are three very different things. Make sure you really understand what each one consists of before you decide to pursue it in school.
