I switched from computer science to English literature halfway through undergrad, mostly due to my CS department being subpar (now dead, I believe) and my math being too weak. I worked at a few startups as a designer and programmer, and am entering an English PhD program in fall.
Financially, I probably would have been much better sticking with a science-based discipline, but, I wouldn't have been as happy in the program. Now I pick up odd gigs writing code to supplement grad school stipends to do what I really want.
