I'm just glad that when the road forked between a PhD in classical studies and computer science, I took the path more traveled by :)
It won't be the road more travelled by for much longer I'd guess. Nearly every parent of college age children that I talk to is pushing them to go into computer science.

Won't that make it even more more traveled by?

Apparently, k00b thinks your a classics scholar.

It is either the profoundest of compliments or the profoundest of insults :)

Oh lol It seems like folks are getting pushed into softer parts of STEM, eg CS, so I suspect we'll have fewer people in classical studies.
Though, parents used to push children into medicine and law so maybe things haven't changed that much.
