Re: FF Student Lounge
Summer school moves very, very fast.
One time I heard/read somewhere that a lot of people who go into mathematics because they "like doing math" probably should have majored in accounting or actuarial science. This would have been me (and in fact I did major in Accounting once upon a time) if I hadn't latched onto computer science.
The further I go in my field, the more I think that a lot of people who go into computer science because they "like working with computers" or "like programming" probably should have gone into MIS or something like that.
Oh well, I guess. I'm happy where I am. I'm sorry they're miserable in school and I wish them luck when they try to apply their CS education to a real job. Actually, bless their hearts, they do tons of real-world-applicable stuff outside of school, like open source programming or building little database systems on their linux boxes, but the real world is totally not remotely interesting to me and I'm busy enough with my actual schoolwork.
