“And as much as I hate to admit, it’s pretty accepted (indirectly) that programming has a rampant age discrimination. By the time you hit your 35-40, unlike other majors, you should start fearing if you are just an above average programmer”

I would assume it doesn’t hurt to have a CS degree as most jobs require you have it to even get past HR.
