Well, I never majored in CompSci, I took one computer class even closely related to programming and that was BASIC (Quick BASIC to be more exact). I actually learned more about social engineering the professor than anything else :-). My actual major (and degree) is in English. I personally think that a liberal arts degree helped more because it taught me how to thing "outside the box." Although that is not the only way one can learn to think, it was quite useful to me. I also learned a lot about dealig with office politics and other issues that come up in the workplace that have little to do with ones actual job. For my current job, it wasn't so much the degree as my experience (I had had a few week-long training courses more in line with system administration though). Having a minor in CompSci might help, but to be honest, I don't think of myself as a programmer anyway. I use programming to do my job and thats about it. And of course, I am more than my job :-)

Just my 2 pence anyway.
