[musicale]

Although I'm something of a computing hobbyist myself, I think having academic interests and hobbies outside of computing is very beneficial.

If he might end up working in computing, I think it's even more valuable to explore other interests and activities in college and beyond; he'll spend more than enough time sitting at a keyboard for work.

The comments that we don't criticize other professions for not devoting enough leisure time to their work discipline are also spot on.
