Compilers are a lot of fun; I did compilers in grad school. I regret not taking more EE courses. I would expect we all think about the classes we wanted to take but didn't. :-/

100% agreed. 18 y/o me was an idiot; i'd have done thing significantly differently.
Frankly, had I known I would be where I am today by my own whims, I would've majored in something like philosophy, not taken more compsci courses.
I wonder how things would have gone if I had gotten into Lisp right in 1982, instead of 2000.
Here I am, a (floabt) poliSci+=econ major, wishing I had been in CS. I don't truly regret it though, I think it gives me a unique perspective.
