Re:Liberal Arts Has Its Place (Score 1)

***If you want to work at Google/Microsoft/any absurdly large firm... You want a tech school. But if you don't want to kill yourself before you get there... Lib arts. I failed out of a pretty good college, I tried my hand at both the CS and Info Systems degrees and found that CS degrees will teach you about 4+ years of programming language, most of which you will not use. And seriously now what are you going to do with 4 years of C++? Where as the Info Sys degree focuses more on systems administration with out actually teaching you anything. I am currently 1 and a half years out of college, having failed out, and I am currently making more as just under two times what my college counsoler told me to expect to make after graduating with a degree in CS. *I am a linux systems admin, most of my co-workers are not college graduates.
