Computer Scientist == Nerd
I am graduating in Computer Science next semester. Does this make me a nerd? A few years ago I didn't even know what programming was. The only association with programmers that I had was with the stereotypical nerd. I'm not into gaming and could care less about building a computer. I love sports and outdoor activities. So why then am I graduating in Computer Science? I had to take a programming class for a previous major and learned how I could make a computer solve problems and tasks for me. I love problem solving and being able to use a computer language as an aid in completing various tasks. I still don't like computer games or comic books, but love programming. For those of you who haven't even considered Computer Science I implore you to do so.

There are definitely some social barriers that need to be broken down so that a broader audience can have a clearer vision of how important, useful, and enjoyable computer science can be.
