    It depends where you study but if you end up at an institution which follows the analytic tradition then many of your classes will be more like discrete mathematics than a typical humanities degree.

        I remember showing up to my first class thinking it would basically be “stoner studies” and then being given a complicated lecture on formal logic. There was an American student at the front of the class who exclaimed at one point, “Wow! It’s just like simple computer programming.” I remember thinking I was in the wrong room lol.

        Anyway I stuck with it and now I’m a computer programmer.
