When I was a senior in high school, Arizona State sent me a packet promoting their Materials Science department. However, for some reason, everyone that I knew wanted me to pursue computers instead. When I went to register for classes, the Materials Science ones were full, except for a one-credit introductory course, so I took that and two computer courses, Introduction to Programming and Digital Design Fundamentals, but I needed to drop both, and still do not have anything leading me to a career.

Materials science has continued to interest me, though.
