I transfered from CS to Communications, not because it was easier (for most CS majors that did the same, it wasn't) but because it was much more interesting.
That's not a knock on CS (around here?? Am I insane??) but more of a comment that many of us with backgrounds in computing have found a more interesting application of those skills in completely different fields. I know that's not the norm on slashdot, but a majority of the people who left CS when I did (after 2 years - apparently that was a key time at VT) did so and entered majors they found more stimulating. Even Lib Arts dorks like me.
And thus it's much more likely that we're happy in our current professions. At least, happier than we would have been had we stuck to CS. I know I am.
