I'm not in the business of giving people jobs. If I was, being enough of an asshole to denigrate people for having different academic interests at age 18 would be more of a red flag to me than simply having different academic interests at age 18. Maybe that's why I'm not in the business of giving people jobs.
It says you're not a monomaniac who cares only about appropriate intellectual pursuits, like computer science, mathematics, or physics.
