But just to state my "ambition" in short, I plan to get into academia, as a lecturer at an applied sciences college as well as gain a skill which I can use for consulting in the private sector so both could so that e.g. with math, lecturing discrete math or multivariate analysis and then doing a gig within operations research for the airport or a train station.
But to get to your point, what about the counter argument that most of what you learn in a CS degree is theory (which will help in academia). The private sector is very competitive and there is a trend showing less people getting CS degrees and more getting into bootcamps, hell the government here (Finland) is pumping money into bootcamps..They are doing the same in Lithuania and in South Africa so the CS degree for the private sector may be redundant if code monkeys have more up to date skills for companies.
This post makes me feel like you would prefer math.
Maybe Data Analytics instead of CS.
Maybe Finance, Economics, or Accounting?
