I find the B.A. vrs. B.S degree question fasinating. Interestingly enough,
many of the programmers I work with do not have B.S. degrees either.
I work with programmers who have:
no degree (3)
Sociology (2)
Linguistics (1)
Journalism (1)
Business (1)
psychology (1)
M.A. in Math (1)
To be fair, here are the B.S.es
Electrical engineering (2)
Mechanical engineering (1)
Nursing (2)
Accounting (1)
I don't think either is better or worse: it is just interesting.
