I believe I would have been better off with better math courses in junior high and high school than I would have been learning computing. Perhaps that's too path dependent, and based too much on the sheer level of pain experienced as an undergrad having to learn it properly. But I was hacking (analog) electronics ( at a very shallow level ) so maybe the little RasPi class machines make up for that.
