Replying to Avatar PABLOF7z

I gave a talk recently to some kids and mentioned that if they want to do anything in CS they should probably *not* get a degree;

going through an entire university degree without being compelled to quit and start building in today's world is a smell.

Maybe electric engineering, chem, math or physics still cool. They can learn to code while learning good math.

I have a Chemistry degree. Occasional coding is just a hobby and not enough to compete with pro's who got hired because they have a CS degree and are able to code everyone day. I have to admit I definitely lack some talent.
