During my college internship (2010) I was told that my CS degree would be totally worthless and I should focus on electrical engineering (though that would've been fine too tbh)...oh, and that I should put all the money I could into gold and guns...the dude was a nut is what I'm saying.

I mean, to be fair, gold has sextupled in price in the past twenty years, and Smith and Wesson is worth roughly 20x as much, depending on the point in 2000. So, yes, a nut, but not horrible investment advice, per se
