<p>I am considering getting a BS in comp sci, but then switching to something else (physics) for grad work. If I end up working in a software development position or similar, is there a limit to how high in the industry I can go? I don’t want to plateau 5-6 years into a career, so would I need anything higher than that?</p>
<p>All limits are self imposed. As far as you are willing to go.</p>
<p>In CS, I think advanced degrees really aren’t that important anyway. The sky’s the limit.
But, think very carefully about your plan to do undergrad cs and grad in physics. That will be hard to pull off.</p>
