Only do it if you can get in a top 20 school and go for a Master's degree.

Keep GPA inflated by taking easy gen eds and work on projects & internships in the summer. If you do it right, you'll come out with a well paying job and little to no debt.

Just don't expect to have much of a social life.

OP, all the resources of a CS degree are readily available online (Lecture videos, lecture notes, practice projects).

Do something more interesting like Maths/Physics/Finance/Statistics, hell even Engineering and you can self study CS in your own time.

Universities in the UK have like 20 weeks worth of lectures, with like 12 lectures per week. You can easily self study another 2 degrees in that time.

I am planning on getting a bachelor's in mechanical engineering; do you think it matters if the school is super well known or not? What do you think I can make starting out?
>>
>>1167662
Thank you very much anon, do you believe this can be done the other way too? As in studying CS and self study Finance? I am pretty sure maths and statistics are included in CS too, with a business side as well, so self studying finance may come in handy?
Are there plenty of resources out there for finance too? I know Martin Shkreli started doing lessons online but I don't know if he is just a meme or complicated if you are a beginner at it. Investopedia might help too, even if it's more into stocks, there is plenty of material on that site too? I'm just assuming things right now if you can give me your opinion on this idea too.
I just believe that a real CS degree may open better job prospects and combined with the self studying of finances and business may give me an edge.
Also if I could self study two degrees which would you recommend as a second one, Engineering?

Oh bullshit. I was making over $90k in IT without a college degree. Of course I had a lot of experience with Unix and a business network.

Below top 20 is fine and BSCS is fine (of course top 20 is better). But you have to enjoy it and do the work.
