I'm sorry for all the people who downvoted you, but this is just a practical fact. You may think the CS degree is utterly useless, that they teach you extremely outdated stuff that you will never use in practice, that it's just elitism in all but name, a way to filter people with economic resources, etc. etc.

And I agree with almost every opinion you may have on this; but the thing is, it is just harder to come by a decent opportunity without it. Nice that you try to set your foot in the door here politically, but the cost for that is being on a crappier job.

I was an idealist too, 20 years ago...
