Advice to a Junior in High School?

[Peter Hansen]

I would suggest taking Japanese because you will have to work with them
eventually if you do decide to choose compsci as your proffesion.

Over what time frame should I expect this requirement to become
critical? I'd like to know so I can reserve a spot in the next
Japanese course in the area, if you think it's really urgent.
Also, should I plan on adopting various aspects of the Japanese
culture as well, or will a mastery of the language be sufficient?

I think having a katana next to your keyboard will suffice to give the
*impression* you have mastered enough of the japanese culture, Peter
