There’s been some talk lately about how come not as many students are taking computer science in school, and someone over at Information Management online is suggesting that it’s all your parents fault for encouraging you to be a baseball star or a CEO or the next American Idol. This seems to be based on nothing more than a hunch, and the whole thing makes no sense to me. My guess is that most people who don’t go into computer science don’t do it because they’re not interested in it. I don’t think the answer is to tell your little slugger to put down the baseball bat and spend more time learning BASIC.
