About my major in the master's course.?

[Asami]

At first, I should tell you I'm Japanese and therefore there may be some weird points in my English writing.
I'm 3rd-year student in japan and studying chemistry at the university in Japan. I think I want to live in the United States in the future and plan to take Ph.D. at the american university after graduating the master's course in japan.
But now I start to think chemistry is boring because the work involved with chemistry is generally not exciting and for many engineers there are not many chances to built start-up business!!

In addition, I had a chance to experience VR(virtual reality) such as one made by Oculus Rift and it made me feel ''this is a great technology and in the future this would change the world.'' At the same time, my interest shifted to Computer Science because I thought there are many chances to make what I want to make, and many chances to earn much money compered to chemistry.

However, considering lack of my knowledge, I may be misunderstanding the trend in CS or Information Technology.

So now I plan to change major from Chemistry to Computer Science.
therefore, I want to hear'' is my image of CS correct??'' about this point '' there are many chances to make what I want to make, and to earn much money compered to chemistry.'' I want to know whether this trend is only applied to some genius such as Mark Zuckerberg (facebook founder) or not.

the acquainted american professor said that I should use my advantages and knowledge about chemistry and if I change major it is difficult to survive with my poor coding skills (I just have a little C++ experience)

do you think so?? but I want to earn much money and challenge start-up business in my short life!!

I want to hear your experiences and opinion. if you think starting to learn CS and programming are too late, please tell me what job is interesting and exciting in chemistry. Of course if you know.

thank you.
