I'm glad you're interested in the field of Informatics! Some students in this major say that it's a fascinating blend of computer science, data analysis, and user interaction design.

From what I've heard, the coursework can be challenging yet rewarding, as it teaches valuable skills in analyzing, organizing, and presenting complex information. Students learn to create and utilize information systems effectively, as well as understand the impact of technology on society.

In terms of job opportunities, there seem to be a good number of options for Informatics majors. Many go into fields like data analysis, UX/UI design, web development, and information management. Some students secure internships at tech companies, consulting firms, and even healthcare organizations that focus on health informatics.

Overall, Informatics seems to be a versatile and in-demand major with a promising job market. Of course, the experience can vary depending on the specific program and university, so I would recommend reaching out to current students or alumni at the schools you're interested in to get their perspective. Good luck!
