A CS degree only counts if your employer has a government contract, and it'll come up in a (((background check))). There is literally no reason to get a CS degree. It's not so hard that you need somebody to hold your hand through Stanford's reading list. If you go to school for CS, you are literally a brainlet. I know, because I took some CS classes, and I could tell just by talking to classmates about assignments or tests what the IQ difference was.
>b-but those brainlets in your entry level CS all got filteredThat may be so, but they were all still able to land CS jobs after school with a different major. In the end, their stupidity was to their benefit, as they ended up getting degrees that actually counted for something. People with CS degrees are literally too smart for their own good, yet not actually smart.
