    That's a better degree than compsci anyway. If you know your shit, but you're attached to "rest of the country," starting your own consultancy is also an option. There's a ton of work to be done out there. I started one 10 years ago. It's not google pay, but it's still very nice, and at this point in my life, they couldn't pay me enough to put up with all of the bean-counting & back-biting in corporate software development. > answer to your next question since i'm rate-limited: College is crucial for W2s--if only to get through the HR filter (why I asked in the first place)--but outside of that, people don't really care as long as you get the job done. Nobody (at least nobody with any sense) is going to ask John Carmack where he went to school and what he majored in. The work speaks for itself. Place an ad, follow the leads, take care of business, and you'll have more work than you want to deal with. "Somewhere else" businesses don't have FAANG-tier problems. Someone with a decent GPA in physics can probably handle it.
