[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think kids get CS degrees to become programmers. [b]They want to design the next operating system or programming language or platform, and yes, the rocket launches, etc.[/b] There are 2-year, on line, and IT degrees for the kind of job you describe.[/quote] That may be what they want, but a good number end up working on business applications at places like Capital One, Freddie Mac, etc. Not exactly rocket launches. I realize where a "true" CS degree *may* be appropriate/needed but it's not like all of the CS kids end up with such jobs. Most UVA CS kids (for example) are hired by Capital One to work on business applications. The percentage of kids being hired to work on business apps likely trends smaller, the higher the ranking of the CS program.[/quote]
