Comment on Ask HN: A degree in Web development?

Comments

I doubt it'd be worth it. If you don't want to get into heavy theory, you might consider an information systems degree (aka management information systems) which generally opens the door to some high paying jobs. I know, because I teach the capstone course to an IS degree program. Our students finish with some competence in programming, databases, and web development, but instead of computing theory they have a lot of courses in other business disciplines -- marketing, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship. In my opinion, it's a pretty well rounded bachelor's degree.
