UCB CS Transfer

Yes, the difference may be subtle, but I am pretty sure it’s nicer to be making 70K than 50K on an entry level position (aka junior developer). These are real numbers from my current place of employment, if you are wondering. I’ve worked in IT field for over 8 years and I have never seen a person with BA picked over a person with BS for a developer position. In fact, most of my employers, including former ones, would rather hire a person with BS from a shady school no one ever heard of, than a person with BA from a prestigious university. But what do I know…

L&S CS graduates from UCB do well getting jobs at graduation: https://career.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/Survey/2014CompSci.pdf

@lenocturne I’m not a CS major, and have not researched this thoroughly, so you may well be correct.

No, s/he is not correct that “BA in Computer Science is nearly worthless”.
