Thanks for not answering the questions I asked - namely whether CS degrees administered partially by philosophy departments are any good - and for making the assumption that you know what is "practical" and what is "interesting" for me.

Not everyone wants to follow the classic SV career path.

In case you're wondering: you're being downvoted for being rude. You asked for advice, received it, then attacked someone who gave you good-faith advice.

You're right, I was overly rude, and I regret the wording of what I wrote. I feel the above commenter was misguided in the subject his advice but it was probably well-intended.
