not what i need to see, folks (Score 1)

I attend the University of Pennsylvania (go Quakers.) and I was beginning to seriously consider realizing my old passing and going for a Computer Science degree with Mathematics and (maybe) Linguistics on the side. I'm not interested in software engineering as much as I am in the more theoretical side of Computer Science. Am I setting myself up for failure in the long run? I figure I could enter the academy if jobs/research opportunites really do all magically transport to India (not to shun academia, mind you). Here is a link to our Computer Science department.
