> because half of the average US Bachelor is general education with no professional impact People that talented and motivated about CS should take computer engineering instead; much fewer general education courses are usually required. Aside from that, there are two obvious ways to turn the general education requirements to your professional advantage: 1) writing courses, since the average developer can't write or put together a logical worth a damn and a lot of writing is needed as they get more senior and 2) foreign language courses, which open up job opportunities if you take the time to achieve basic proficiency.
