Yikes! Modula2?
It does help to have some computer science background, but a degree is
definitely not required. I took a lot of logic classes and I did extremely
well in them. However, they never covered anything that I thought was
particularly complicated. It wasn't until I took a C class that I covered
selecting from multiple solutions. I suppose that could be picked up
elsewhere but I have seen some people who pick bad solutions because they
are incapable of determining the bad effects of their method. Like "If I
put all the code for this data management system in one file, I'll know
where to find it." CS classes could help eliminate that but if you don't
get it, you just don't get it.
