How many of you blokes have Computer Science degrees? I have a degree in the natural sciences, but no formal training. I'm considering a masters or perhaps another BS degree.

I have a diploma in Information Technology from a technikon. For those who don't know, a technikon is similar to a university, but it has more of a technical approach to studies. You have to study 3 years full-time before you graduate.

I haven't any formal computer science qualifications (my GCSE Computer Studies and BTEC Computer thingy don't count) Michael :-)

*puts hand up* Spent 2 years in engineering first, but graduated with an Honours B.S. in Computer Science, specialist in Software Engineering. I'm looking forward to the day the IEEE decides that Software Engineering actually should be a regulated professional field - then I'll go back to school to get my P.Eng. J

BS Math Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

David, To some degree that is correct but I know many tallented people who have become the first people out the door in "downsizing".

No doubt you ae correct, and if I ever get put into a situation where I will need to apply for a conventional job, I will probably end up apply for a degree course. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Sonork ID: 100.9977 Dave …

* Raises hand as well * I am an engineer in software development, after 4 years of study at the Hogeschool Enschede (Netherlands), that entitles me to write "ing." (for "ingenieur", Dutch for "engineer") before my name. VictorV, eh sorry, ing. Victor Vogelpoel (I never actually do this)

I have a 4 year Computer Science engineering degree from one of the State Universities. It's called a B.Tech degree [bachelor of technology] and I guess it'd be equivalent to a BE or a BS [not now David...] in the US/UK. I passed out of college in Nov 1999, had plans of writing the GRE [and I was blindly sure of a super high score] but just as I had started preparing for it, I got a job [Jan 2000] and then abandoned writing the GRE [which I now regret seriously]. Then to make matters worse for myself I got married in Dec 2000 [I was barely 23] and about half an year later, got separated from her [though not legally]. Now it's March 2002, I am single once again [though not legally] and wondering how to be legally free of being married in a country where marriage is considered to be a sacred issue. If this had been a more casual culture, I'd have been divorced by now [being divorced at 24 sounds pretty awkward in an Indian context]. Sorry for getting carried away, but that's the partial story of my adult life I guess. By the way my company is basically a Java/Unix company where we had a 2-member win32 team till 2 months ago, I was the proud Project/Team leader of the 2-member team [my friend and fellow CPian tweety being the other member]. 2 months ago, when we recruited more people, I was alloted two new trainees. So now we are a 4 member team with two really fresh trainees, a VB/ASP programmer [tweety] and a poor Project Leader who is wishing and wishing that he'd finally be given a decent C++ project so that he need not come to the Lounge and post so often :-( Not that I dislike posting here, but that's one big reason that you see so much of me here. Just wait till I get some stuff to do and then you'll be wondering where that weird Nish-character has gone to... oops, my ranting is not stoppin at all eh... Thanks Nish [in a very pensive mood...] Bow wow wow, Yippee yo yippee yay, My miniputt high, Is now 30 yay.

MS in engineering, BS in computer science, PE license in mechanical engineering, currently working on a graduate degree in computer science. I'm still underqualified for some positions (no PhD). You already have a degree so getting a computer science degree should be much easier. My first degree counted for all the non-CS requirements in my computer science degree. I ended up only having to take 12 classes for the degree. The freshman and sophmore courses were trivial for someone who programs for a living. I did learn a fair amount in the junor and senior level courses though. After I got my CS degree, my salary went up by almost $10k in a years time. I also met my wife when I went back to school. All in all not a bad deal for a $3k investment.

I received a BS in CS and a minor in mathematics in 1995, and have worked for the same small company ever since. I have no plans in my near future of going for a MS, since the jumps in pay for obtaining an MCP, MCSD, or the new MCSD.net is quicker to get (esp. with 7+ years experience) There should be a new demographic on CP to indicate the percentage of members that have different levels of higher education. They could be: Doctoral Graduate post-secondary Certifications + Certifications only None Roger Stewart "I Owe, I Owe, it's off to work I go..."
