If you regularly experience grief in a subject, theN YOU SHOULD NOT CHOOSE THAT FOR A CAREER. You could be doing it for 30-40 years. Why make life miserable if you have a choice.
- Guyag 9y agoI agree with you that people should probably choose a career in something they're good at, but I think that's separate to the issue of making life easier for people entering the subject from nothing. The CS courses I've seen are different from those in other subjects in that they assume a whole lot more background knowledge, which is a pretty exclusionary assumption to make. Stopping this is no bad thing.
- Bakary 9y agoI've often heard people make "sensible" choices like these in undergrad. In their minds, it's a few years of toil that will yield an abstract form of an easy/successful life because "3. ??? 4. Profit", but for some reason they don't come to terms with the fact that their reward will be more of the stuff they hate, with longer hours and more pressure.
