    I think there's no right answer. Computers are pretty powerful in what they could potentially be used for. I think any subfield of computer science/programming will potentially be useful, so just follow what you're genuinely interested in.

    If you're just starting a bachelor's most of your courses will anyway just be giving you a broad background, right? Or do you already have to choose a specialization?

      Yeah, if it's a bachelor don't worry about focus areas and just get through it, computers aren't going anywhere and any end game society will have them. You'll be useful in the socialist society because we all will be, that's how it works comrade.

        That makes total sense. I took some optimization classes, so I have a little bit of experience with this operations research stuff. Like another commentor mentioned, it could be useful to learn lots of math if you're interested in going that direction.

        Sorry I don't have much to offer in terms of concrete advice, but I hope you find what you're looking for

          One thing I think, though, is that computers are a useful tool, but it's good to know a second field too so that you can apply them. Knowing Programming + X ends up being a pretty useful combo. If it's programming + music, for example, you're able to build synthesizers or music software.

          If you're interested in economics/policy, you might be able to find some feedback between the two fields
