As a computer scientist, don't solve only IT problems

A big mistake i made while studying computer science in university was to think only of IT problems and opportunities.

When I started university in 2015, l spent most of my time with computers. I saw computing in everything.

But looking back almost 8 years now, I know that computing is not everything.

Especially here in Ghana where there is a big market for other things and a small market for IT work.

Also, most of the money I made in life did not come from work with computers.

The money I made to travel outside the country with and to buy my car, none of it came from IT work.

How could I have not considered other things aside computers while studying computer science in school?
