are you seriously suggesting that a GMU BS in Computer Science is essentially the same as not having a college degree at all?
That is pure C.R.A.Z.Y.
Sure GMU, like EVERY school, has it's own style of campus/college experience. Some like it. Some prefer another flavor. But, to take YOUR dislike for the GMU college experience and extrapolate that GMU Com Sci degrees are therefore no better than having no degree at all, just reflects very poorly on you and your ability to assess value. Stop while you have any dignity left.
GMU CS > UPenn CS.
Based on a sample OP's sample size of 1, I don't understand these C.R.A.Z.Y. GMU boosters' thinking.

Is this true? All the Cybersecurity majors I know wind up in Govt., which is not lucrative.

My kids will be the 4th college-educated generation in our family. We are professional-class workers with good but not stratospheric incomes.
We very much view college as both an "end" in-and-of itself and a "means to an end".
Someone could hand my kid at FAANG job at age 18 and we'd 100% encourage him to pass and go to college instead.
Well that is stupid.
