<p>Addendum: For what it’s worth, a friend who is doing VC work but studied gov is now learning coding on his own and is contemplating taking some comp sci courses because he realizes it’ll be useful for work, at least tangentially. On the other hand, another friend who graduated with a comp sci degree is now studying orchestral conducting @ Juilliard. Life is not an unchanging, unidirectional path. Do learn and pick up useful tools and skills, but don’t do everything/stuff based on fear and worry.</p>
