I am halfway through my CompSci degree. I like most of it and I feel overwhelmed by all the possible directions one can go. Should I focus in high level stuff that is very abstract or low level stuff and work closer to hardware? Then there's web, databases, and and and. Can you give me a quick rundown of the pros and cons and unique shit that comes with? I know its a broad question, so just share some experiences.
Which direction should I go?
bump

What do you like? What are you good at?
Kill yourself
Ai machine learning.
blockchain and machine learning
I went into game development at my school and now I work in telecom
If it's only a few courses it doesn't matter. Maybe take something involving cloud, AI, or distributed computing.
Whatever you do, don't get into web. It's cancer.
If you don't want to be fired reaching 40 y/o because you can't keep up with modern technology, learn fundamental algorythms/maths/security.

Don't go infosec. We have enough infosec "professionals" who can't code their way out of a box, who don't understand networking, and don't know Linux. Doing it in your basement doesn't count. Get GOOD at some tech, then 10 years after you graduate, when you are at the top of your game, come over to infosec.
