&quot;What separates CS from other degrees is that it does filter out those...&quot;<p>This is quite a strong claim. I also find the terminology &quot;filters out&quot; troubling. I thought universities were fundamentally there to <i>teach</i> people and not just <i>sieve</i> them. Well, personally my physics department was operated like a sieve but that simply is not a rational way to run an educational facility. It&#x27;s just macho bullshit (&quot;We&#x27;re so tough...&quot;).<p>&quot;That means, that even if the SV bubble crashes, CS majors are the best equipped to handle whatever career is hot next..&quot;<p>I would claim when changing to a new field, any university major that requires rigorous thinking and understanding of math based systems gives that advantage.
