Go to a bootcamp if you want that. Computer Science shows people that there are various ways of thinking about problems and evaluating solutions. The fact that there is some maths in it is good - it's not as if its particularly difficult maths either. The experience of bending your head around a functional paradigm or comparing 2 sorting algorithms shows you how "the commonsense way to do something" is a prejudice that blinds you to more powerful approaches. Everyone can do with a bit of maths when it comes to cryptography too - and it's critical to understand enough about crypto in this age (even if what you learn is to stay far away from trying to implement it). It's really about thinking at the level above programming which helps the programming that you do to be more effective. Even if your life is about duct-taping various libraries together to achieve something you still need to know how they work, how they solve the classic problems and whether your use of them is going to be effective.
