Are computer science degrees worthless ?...

Are computer science degrees worthless ? , I mean you can learn to programme without attending university and most of the other shit covered in the curriculum is useless

They're not worthless, but they are worth a lot less than most universities are charging.
If you're self motivated enough to learn what you need in your field without someone guiding you the whole way and holding your hand through the basics, then definitely don't pay for a degree.
You might find it easier to get an interview if you have a degree, but in the end, you'll get the job if you know your stuff, regardless of whether you went to uni

They are not worthless but a dime a dozen these days. Virtually every application I've seen comes across as this
>CS grad from XYZ land
>Languages: Java, C, Bash, powershell(maybe)
>Databases: MS SQL
>experience 0

wowie can't wait to deal with another dude who basically never has worked on anything outside his on laptop. If you're going through college and on a CS degree do an internship, that usually will sell it better. Though chances are you'll end up doing IT in networking or DevOps as you'll realize its easier and pays virtually the same. Know so many CS people who just went into networking since being physically in a spot outweighs you to coding pajeets in fuckistan

I studied Info Sys and got an internship as a Software Engineer, easier degree but learned the skills you'd get from CS in a real working environment. Basically if you're going to get a degree, only consider it if you will do an internship as well.

What if you're studying for free and can choose any engineering field you want ?

Electrical engineering and work with low level languages and hardware design if you're smart enough for that

Electricy is the chapter i hated most at highschool but i'm intrested in your reasoning ?

That's what I did. Can't wait to hear from all the people with "a passion for video game design" who stuck it out despite all signs pointing to a complete oversaturation of their job market. Then again I expect my market will be next so I probably shouldn't throw stones.

Same, went into programing got into virtualization/infrastructure. Never looked back, after a few years most my friends who went into CS ended up getting a CCNA and going through with networking or something managing web servers.

Don't give a shit if you call me a slacker, IT just is far easier and secure to many small/medium businesses and often has better benefits if you aren't a spineless fuck and put policies in place
