Nearly all hackers past their teens are either college-degreed or
|
|
|
|
|
self-educated to an equivalent level. The self-taught hacker is often
|
|
|
|
|
considered (at least by other hackers) to be better-motivated, and may be
|
|
|
|
|
more respected, than his school-shaped counterpart. Academic areas from
|
|
|
|
|
which people often gravitate into hackerdom include (besides the obvious
|
|
|
|
|
computer science and electrical engineering) physics, mathematics,
|
|
|
|
|
linguistics, and philosophy.
