I don't know anything about computer science, but my guess is that everyone needs practical experience, which you don't necessarily get in college. But after a few years in the real world all those CS majors will have that experience, too. Well, theoretically. Whether the college degree helps you or not is beyond me, but it's a tangible thing you can put on a resume. C'est la vie.

All Korn songs are about being an outcast in high school. I think Jonathan Davis has serious residual issues he needs to work out with himself. And that latest video freaks me out. Here's the thing. Probably a lot of the people who watch videos online are the high school outcast types (yes, I'm quite familiar with Launch.com myself...) and that's why that video is top 20. Launch users are not an accurate population sampling, know what I mean? The kids who listen to Enrique Iglesias are out shopping with their parents' credit cards. Or they can just watch MTV any old time because they're far more apt to play Enrique than Korn.

Whoa, this is a long comment. I'm going to shut up now.

Hey now, I got my CS degree, and I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about.

Your point is well taken though. There are many, many, many, who certainly do not know what is going on, and do just get a peice of paper. They are in it for the money.

Without the degree, you are missing out on the theory, which I think is very important. However, as far as finding a job is concerned, having practical experiance is where it counts. Knowing what you are doing helps even more.

Ignoring all my banter above, I think that it sucks your family thinks that of you. Not supporting what you want only hurts you.
