I think I'm a pretty decent programmer, and my degree is a BA in Political Science. Then again, I was a programming long before I got that degree

I have a BA in English, but I've been programming since I was 7, starting with BASIC, then on my TI-82 in junior high, C in high school, Perl, PHP and Javascript in college. I work full time as a software engineer now, and I make a good living doing it.

On the same token, you could build cars your whole life... get a liberal arts degree... then say all LA's can easily become mechanics.

After all, what's easy for you is easy for everyone right?
