Non-CS/EE hackers?
csomar: "I'd like to hear stories about people who "switched" or caught the start-up bug after investing in an un-related degree."Start-Up are not related to Computer Science or Information Technology. There are health, medicines, nano-technology... startups that don't deal with computers or programming. It's simply a question of "What do you want to do?".If you want to get a 9-5 programming job, a CS degree will help. If you want to start a start-up, no one will ask you for your background. If you want to have a deeper CS knowledge, you can just read books or watch free courses online.
