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?

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.
