[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I majored in philosophy with a concentration in logic. My intention was to go to law school, so it didn't matter what I picked to major in in undergrad. It turns out I had no interest in practicing law, but my philo + logic set me up brilliantly for a career in programming.

I think you follow what you love with eyes wide open. Be aware of what careers you might be interested in. Find out what it takes to get internships in those areas & lay the groundwork. If you love art history, odds are you can take what you love and turn it into a worthwhile career.[/quote?

Curious question to the quoted poster above. Did you study programming in high school and in college? My DS  is a high school senior very interested in philosophy, but his HS schedule didn't allow room to take programming and he hasn't pursued that on his own.  Is it practical these days for  a kid to take a few programming courses in college with no prior background?   What courses should he consider in programming assuming he majors  in philosophy?[/quote]
