I have a great degree in General Studies.  I was originally a music major,
switched to CS, dropped out of school, and that was the only degree I could
go back and complete in reasonable time.

However - having said that - except for specific engineering-type jobs
(which I don't considering cf-coding, in general), I think a well-rounded
humanities/arts degree means much more than a CS one.

Not to start a flame war.  I know too many CS/CE-types who have no ability
to communicate in any medium.

  I would like to know how many people on the list actually have a CS/MIS
degree.

  I do.

    OK, I will concede that the SQl class was helpful. And despite the focus
on
    PASCAL in comp sci 1 and 2, I learned a lot about programming per se.
But
    whether I could have learned the same material without being present in
a
    classroom from 10 to 11 on Tuesdays and Thursdays is what I am
questioning.
    I think so...
