Already I can tell what kind of employee he'd turn out to be simply from his majors.

Reminds me of when I was trying to learn C and C++ as a college student, since NO class taught it. But hey, they taught Java and Scheme and some custom RTL language that could translate to VHDL (but not VHDL itself). Not very practical in the real world.

I guess "geniuses" are supposed to figure it out on their own.
