		arethuza on July 31, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Computer science as a lost art (2015) Getting a CS degree to get vocational training to be a developer is a pretty terrible idea in my view (and I have a CS degree) - having a physics or mechanical engineering degree is particularly relevant to being a plumber so would you expect a CS degree to help being a developer?

It should help you get a job. No one says that a mechanical engineer shouldn’t be employable somewhere after they graduate.
