I became a software engineer because CS was the only class in school that has ever, ever genuinely interested me at a deep, fundamental curiosity level. It's definitely something about the fact that the work is about the closest you can get to getting paid to be a logician. My second favorite class in school was of course the Symbolic Logic class I took in college, which was extremely amusing to me since I was the only CS major in the class, yet by the end of it I think all the other students had a better grasp of programming than like 50% of CS majors. (This was a philosophy credit that was completely elective - people only really had 1-2 slots for these "Elective: Any" kinds of classes since most of your electives were like "Elective: Chemistry" or something like that. So people in these kinds of classes purely self-selected. Most people just took one of the well-known blow-off classes, which honestly I don't fault them for, this wasn't an easy school). |
