I really hate how people see Bachelor of Computer Science as a meme.

I think it's because everyone who has a Computer calls himself a IT-Expert. So today on Xmas family joined for a meal, we talked about work and study and stuff...

Auntie: "So why do you need to study to Operate a Computer, my Son built one by himself without studying, you should study something solid like economics"

First I thought this was a meme, later I found out she was dead serious.

All the math, physics, scientific research, papers, software engineering just to operate a computer 😂

I'm not gonna call her names, because it's Xmas so:

father forgive them, because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

    You should have made sure to let her know that she as no fucking idea what she is talking about. She must be thinking she is too smart.

    That's when you say "Yeah, and for fuckups like me it's the reason your disabled son was able to do so *tips hat*"

    On a more serious note... Don't worry, people will never understand what does CS implies, ignorance is bliss.

    You should've convinced her to ask her son to make a Facebook clone and earn them a lot of money.

    She'd realise what CS is then

    Explain it to her like this:
    Her Son built a PC like an IKEA furniture thingy. There was a manual and all.

    Cs is like learning carpentry.

    I think this should be easy enough to understand

    On Ikea you can fuck it up, a PC you can't 😂 like install a gpu there is only one slot fitting you can't mess this up

    @koin you can break stuff, or bend the pins... take the analogy or leave it.

    I think it would explain it fairly well...

    Haha my uncle used to say the same thing, "just drop out after one year and study economics instead!", and he kept telling me that every time I met him.

    He only shut up when I landed a job quite a while before I graduated, while my cousin (who studied economics at the same uni as mine) had to struggle for months after graduation to finally get a job.

    @koin I'd argue there's more ways to fuck up building a custom PC than Ikea furniture

    You can saw off half the pines to make your x16 card a x8 card 😃
