Also remember just because someone is smart doesn’t mean they can code. The most lopsided class in college I took was a computer programming one - half the kids got a reasonably easy “A” and half got very hard “C”s, even though everyone was smart there. I don’t remember very many people in the middle. Likewise I think you will find many of these kids drop out before college is out. Swim in your own lane. In demand majors rise and fall but your passion can last a life time.
