This is why I got a BA (liberal arts and sciences) and a MS in CS. I wanted a traditional, classical university education not just a CS degree. I did not want to be stereotyped.

One of my former bosses use to say he hired me because he wanted a "geek who could speak (and write)". He would say that jokingly, but it was a fairly significant compliment at the time.
