Studying computer science is sexy!
Ok that is a bold statement to make (hence the formatting 😉).
But come on now - what could be less awesome, then to study the foundations of the digital world that we're living in today?
If you recently started studying computer science or are thinking about that possibility - let this blog post give you some good reasons to pursue your goal.
Great Career and Business Opportunities
Starting off the bat, the most obvious reason to study computer science, are the sheer endless things you can do with your future CS degree.
If you are looking for a job in IT or Software Development, then having studied computer science is a big advantage.
Granted - self-learners can also land a job, but a solid university degree will make it way easier for you to get a foot in the door.
If you are like us and prefer to look for business opportunities, then knowing CS opens you up to a wide range of sectors to dig into.
Knowing the foundations of computer science, will allow you not only to own, but also understand and build your own company in areas like AI, IoT or SaaS.
Understand The World We're Living In
Computer systems power most of today's world and society.
Where would we be today without our internet-connected smartphones, computers, autopilots, and so many more?
Studying computer science, means studying how the things we use on a daily basis work under the hood.
It gives you a clear understanding of what technology can do for us and what not.
It makes you less hysterical about dangers AI, and more optimistic about scientific progress via the help of e.g., quantum computers.
It's Fun! Well... Sort Of
Now let's not sugarcoat everything here. Studying computer science is not per se easy!
However - if there is a willingness to learn, to dive deep into the studies, if there is a real interest for more than just programming and if you aren't afraid of hardly understanding anything in the beginning:
You are up for an adventure of your lifetime.
Studying CS will not only bring you new and valuable knowledge - it will let you make great friends along the way, who share the same passion as you.
You will study together, learn together, become better together, laugh (and sometimes cry) together and be a part of an amazing community of people with diverse interests and ideas.
At the end of the day - it is not so much the knowledge, but the people you've met, that will make your study-years unforgettable.
