gollark: > It would probably be very worthwhile to dual major in math if that's what you aspire to do.Indeed, AI stuff seems pretty maths-heavy. Some places have computer science and maths degrees, and also dedicated computer science with AI.
gollark: > cooking, accounting (like bank balancing, budgeting, etc), things of that nature should be required classes, since so many people suck at themYou can't expect schools to be able to teach common sense and everything else you might need. People have to learn by themselves eventually.
