Student from Germany who fell in love with coding and the tech industry after pivoting from a traditional career in banking. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in CompSci.
I often feel like I'm literally the only CS-interested guy who isn't interested in gaming (shame on me)!:D
Last summer I worked as a WebDev intern for an insurtech agency in Cologne, Germany and next Summer (right before my study begins) I'm going to do another one, also WebDev.
I really want to go to university because I
am interested in the underlying concepts of programming
like maths a lot
want to learn how to work in a scientific way
want to understand the "bigger picture"
don't know what exact role in CS fits the best for me (who knows, maybe I'm more of a data science guy?)
want to gain knowledge in other fields through my minors (economics, psychology)
I often thought about the pros and cons of going to an university or not and I always ended up to at least try it, as it's basically free in Germany.
Well, to me it seems like you are a good fit for CS! Graphs, algorithms, and a scientific approach are the things I like the most. I struggle with math, I can't just sit all day long applying theorems... but sometimes I do... (freaking Physics!). Oh and yeah, we had a teacher that said the first day in class: "Who's here because of game development? Well we won't be writing games. We won't do that." 😂 Many hearts broked that day
