Why did you choose your major? (I)

After I graduated from high school in Paraguay, the country from where I come from, I remember the big problem in which I was involved in, in that moment I really wasn’t sure about the career that I wanted to choose, so I started to search a lot of information about careers and universities and two months later my decision was made: my mayor will be Computer Science and Information Engineering.

At that moment I could not imagine that one year and a half later I would choose the same one more time but this time…far, far away from home.

Computer Science and Information Engineering is the mayor that I chose two times for reasons that are related with the actual situation of my country. In Paraguay, the field of computer science is still in its beginnings and I felt that technology will be indispensable for its development, so I think that Paraguay, and other countries in the same situation, needs professionals in the technological field in order to start the changing process. In other words, I think that today the progress of those countries is in the hands of the technology.
