My advice if you're looking to do software development as a career, you're better off majoring in Software Engineering than CS. You learn way more about code on the job than you will in school. And since documentation and project management stuff is so big in the workplace, it's better in Software Engineering because you learn more of that. That's just my recommendation from job experience.
