You consider yourself as a failure? I don't understand where the joke is... And FYI I live in France where universities are public, hence the lack of competition between them.
I don't understand this need for more "diversity" because I find that CS is already wide enough to the point we can almost call it a "science" now. Of course I see this in France only, all the americans I talked to were doing two things at the same time which is pretty disturbing: CS and physics or CS and chemistry. I've never seen in my whole life a chemist who wanted to learn C++ for fun.
