My youngest sibling starts college in a few months and I was compiling a list of tips for them like; * Enjoy the non-CS courses; you will be exposed to CS like 30 (50 if Amzn) hours a week for possibly the rest of your life. The outside topics costs free time, which is valuable. * Spend time building up friendships with ppl outside your major; you won't get the opportunity to go on weekend hikes with that geology student, shoot hoops with that friend who majored in Rec, shit talk Trump over a beer with someone studying political science, ect... once you graduate and move somewhere expensive like SF or Seattle, but most ppl in your major will end up in the same cities/neighborhoods as you * topics in operating systems, databases, and architechtures are usually faster to learn by textbook than by video (do ppl agree with this? Might be a personal bias) * STD testing is cheapest at Planned Parenthood * dry clean nice shirts, don't wash less durable clothes on hot setting Any advice you'd give to a younger version of yourself about to start college at the same campus and same program that you'd gone through?

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
I'd tell him to switch to law. Lawyers make much more than software guys, if they are good.
Law is a dead and dying career
Why do you think so? I can forsee lucrative cases with all the ML damage that is almost predictable.
