My degree is in Computer Science. I fell in love with philosophy - political, spiritual and economics - when I was in my final year. My grades took a hit because I was convinced that I was in the wrong major. It took the quiet words of my thesis advisor to point out that I loved philosophy because my CS major had trained and opened my mind to become fertile ground.

At the end, he told me to focus on the road, not the destination and focus on taking steps rather than running ahead blindly. It was the best advice I have ever received.
