Did studying social anthropology for a semester hurt you in any way? And when you figured out you weren't really interested in it, how did you decide to pursue CS if it didn't interest you?
- jforman 15y agoa) No, in fact, I benefitted from the semester. I learned interesting things about, for example, the role of gift giving in society and what it means to be a social anthropologist. I don't regret the semester, but I do think I would have regretted a degree. b) I never said CS didn't interest me — that "study what interests you" is bad advice doesn't mean to do the opposite. See my reply above for more explanation and a short description of my thought process.
