There isn't even a ton of Computer Science in most low-mid level programming jobs. Having the luxury of getting a CS degree is an amazing thing, but I've always had trouble with hiring fresh CS grads. The facts on the ground are that you need to write code, every day.
While this job does provide a lot of upward mobility in our current culture, I will also say that it's not a job for everyone like some recent loud groups will say. It sucks and is really hard and to be really good you have to be able to not care about that enough for the days when you really really do something great.
If you can get a CS degree without going into unreasonable debt, do it. Especially if your real goal is something like becoming the next Robert Moog. Weather you do or don't though, you should probably be writing code today and tomorrow.
