Question: would you prefer not to do computer science if you could redo your life?

Honestly, if I could redo my life, I’d still choose scientific computing, even though I used to dream of being an 18th-century pirate! While sailing the seas sounds exciting, I find solving problems with technology and creating things that can really impact the future way more rewarding. Plus, scientific computing lets me explore so many different fields, from space to energy, which keeps things interesting every day. So yeah, the swashbuckling fantasy was fun, but I’m glad I chose this path!
