The word “computer” is not associated in any way with math.

Here are quotes from a nameless recruiter working for a nameless school:

(…) The approach to discuss computer science with the legions of students who express interest in math and don’t know what to do with it, has not worked well. As a general rule the word “computer” is not associated in any way with math. High school computer courses tend to be viewed as job skills courses, and certainly not a real discipline to continue studies in. (…)

Forensics continues to be a primary area of interest for students expressing interest in science.
