I had to pick a orchid subject in high school and "computer science" sounded interesting - or everything else sounded less interesting.
That was the second year in which this subject was available. The year ended up with me teaching the teacher because he didn't get some things I was doing with Java. It was possibly dumb things but it worked.
Was a fun teacher most of the times but I think he had some kind of ego problem.
I got an A- because I spent the night before optimizing something and didn't test everything so something did indeed not work when he graded the program - a very simple room booking system. Fun times :)
"computer science"
it sounds super boring to me 🙉 how come they can name something so interesting into something so boring.!

"Hacking" is not something you start with though.
You need some fundamentals first. "Hacking" is basically exploiting your existing knowledge about something to make things do what they weren't meant to do.
This reminds me of a kid I used to try to teach math and he kept asking me if I know how to hack people just because I told him once I study computer science, lol
Was also a fun kid but I think he ngmi lol

or just programming, then at least I would be curious - what dis
computer science - okay, bye 😂

That seems to be the the unfortunate reality of any formal education, lol
Formal education made me hate exercising and music.
Two things that turned out to be great things actually later in my life.

that's one of the reasons why I don't want to send my future kids to schools - why waste their time and be brainwashed when you can pretty much learn EVERYTHING online these days.
oh and these formal education trend to kill your curiosity!
