Why to go into bioinformatics

I enjoyed this blog by Mark Johnson, especially the following bit:

I've chosen bioinformatics primarily because I think the genomics and biology revolution is going to make the so-called "computer revolution" into an historical footnote. It's the renassiance science of our age, and I can't bear not to be involved.

which I think captures well the excitement of those few who appreciate what bioinformatics might become one day.
