I did a year a computer science before switching majors. Computer science doesn't teach students how to be software developers. It's an academic study of computing, which is important but not for the majority of development jobs.
- mrep 9y agoDepends on your school. Mine required students to pick at least 1 concentration (1 included software engineering which taught things like software testing)

If you want to be self-employed and save money on taxes, you need to show that you have skills that are rather sophisticated and having a degree is basically a certificate for that requirement. Also most companies think, if someone can get a technical degree at least they aren't complete morons.
