Computing is a great major, there are many open jobs for it.

Don't do .NET either, do C++

If you forgo abstract data types (classes), the basic OOP concepts (polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation, etc.), templates, exception handling, etc. then you're really not learning C++ for what it's worth. So I wouldn't really look at needing to learn these things to write GUIs as a bad thing. You'll learn them all eventually regardless, as they are the qualities that make C++ the monster that it is.
I wasn't putting anything down, I'm just going through it quickly first and messing up where mess ups need to be, I'm not sure of any order yet, I want to make it the monster it is ;)
