Hmmm. I thought that in the ten years since the dotcom bubble burst, things have changed significantly, as well. Most projections of job growth are largely in favor of computers and programmers, and some of the most demanded skills in the work force are among those taught in compsci curriculums.

Virtually everywhere you look on tech blogs and whatnot are saying that the safer choice is with compsci in terms of marketability, but my question is whether or not a degree from a state university will still lend itself to those benefits (marketability and opportunity). I obviously would be honing my programming skills and taking personal time to develop a portfolio, but the essential question still stands.
