CIS vs. CS round 2001 (Score 1)

I know for a fact, and from experience that larger companies pay a difference for the degrees simple because of what recently happened to me. I applied at a larger company (Nameless b/c all is not finished with negotiations yet), and was told I would be brought on for say... 60k... then told two weeks later after they had done background checks, that they have to knock that down b/c I don't have the 'higher' degree, no matter what that degree in, it's part of company regulation (the boss that is hiring me didn't know it was in place), so I would go with the higher degree... I would have earlier if I wasn't such a dope and exploring the world on my own... to each their own path.
