Both of the CS majors I knew that switched majors switched to Philosophy.
I never asked why. They both were having trouble in the Intro Algorithms class when they bounced.
Maybe people that think they are CS/Math people and then find out that they might not be CS/Math people find solace in Philosophy? Maybe what they liked about CS/Math was the logic more than the algorithms.
Perhaps that way they can still get into A.I., except without having to learn LISP. I wonder if there are any ex-CS people who similarly go into Linguistics.
