Any Advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I am a sophomore in Computer Engineering at Purdue. I really like programming, but our curriculum calls for a lot of course work in electrical engineering as well and I hate it. I really have an interest in a finance related career but I can't decide between S/T or IBD. Anyways, I was wondering if it would be better to stick out Comp. Engineering at Purdue (I currently have a 3.8 w/ great extras), or try to transfer to a target/semi-target w/ a comp sci/math major. I know the compE degree is more sought after but, would coming from a target make up for that?

Again, any advice will be greatly appreciated

Thanx
