You don't need a degree, just go to college for a year and then drop out to start up a billion dollar company.

degrees are irrelevant

portfolio & work experience is what matters

is this bait?

That pic may have been made before Facebook was a big deal

>>7702609
Hell no.

Programming can't be mastered in a classroom and CS theory is way too easy to justify going to college for. Either go for EE/CpE/Math or spend that time making a portfolio on github instead.

How old is that map?

>>7702737
I'd date it between 2002-2010 based on PGP Corp being there. Probably around 2003-2006 based on lack of Facebook/Apple

How old is this map? A lot of these companies are incorporated into bigger companies or bankrupted.

DAFAQ? What is this 1995?

Honestly yes. I don't know why this board seems to think CS degrees are worthless. In reality you are much more appealing to employers with a CS degree vs math, EE, physics, etc. And if you like to code, your courses will be enjoyable. And if you go to a good school -- Berkeley's awesome of course, but even SJSU has a really good CS program -- then you should be set for some really good internships and jobs.

You should start working straight on, and then when after 6 months you realize being a codemonkey is a shit life choice even for that money, go to college and get a math degree
