Someone who entered college at the start of the dot-com bubble is in their mid 40s, and that's not even when CS degrees were first offered, just when they started entering the public consciousness.
You could easily have a CS degree and be past normal retirement age.
- nullserver 6y agoCS College degrees in dot com era were hit and miss. Also often had a weird mix of electrical engineering courses thrown in. Was quite common to do 2-3 years then drop out and start a job. So much so that people with degrees were often looked down on. Exceptions for things like MIT. After year 3, there was nothing left for me to take. So I took a job. I would like to have a degree, but it was the right call at the time. Few years ago I went back and started an Art degree. Was a blast.
