I started University in Computer Science, and then after some time abroad in Mexico, I switched to International Relations and studied politics and economics. My plans to go into International Business haven't yet materialized and I'm currently in IT, including both web and Windows client development. Being a one-man programming team means I have to learn a lot by myself and don't have the expertise of others to lean on. Because of that, I feel I'm held back from my potential. For example, I'm having a hard time teaching myself how to do TDD, or learning new languages or techniques. I think a CS degree would have given me a great background to be a better programmer. So, I wouldn't discount it and I think you still learn the culture because of all the GenEd classes you have to take in University.
