Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this - I'm a student in the UK looking to apply to university at the end of this year and am currently leaning in favour of a Computer Science degree at a decent institution with any luck (Cambridge, Imperial, Edinburgh etc). I've had perspectives from student forums etc but given that there's a fair few people in the industry on Macrumors, I was wondering whether you thought such a degree was necessary or even beneficial to end up in some kind of programming job? I'm just wondering how employers etc rate the degree over other potential options like Mathematics or Engineering, any thoughts would be appreciated!
