My first stat class was an introductory statistics class that was geared towards biology students. It was pretty terrible.
When I got into CS grad school I took more rigorous statistics courses and fell in love. I mean, head over heels in love. I tried to transfer out of the CS graduate school and into to the statistics graduate school. Because I would lose funding and would be starting over I instead decided just to quit when I was awarded my masters instead. (Now I just spend my days code JavaScript and CSS...what happened..)
If I would have been exposed to statistics earlier in life I'm absolutely certain I would have majored in it in addition to computer science.
