My main dilemma in school: I loved the humanities, but I also wanted something a little more practical. For this very reason I majored in Cognitive Science at UCLA (with a focus on AI). I was required to take the CS courses and I also was given a chance to take courses under the realm of bio, philosophy, psychology, etc. I think education should require a balance. A well rounded individual doesn't necessarily make the best programmer, but does make the best member of society.
