> Lol, what the heck? Troll or astro-turfed? Where can you get a CS Master's Degree and on only four years of programming? My experience (from interviewing people with various educational backgrounds) is that a lot of people who have a Masters in CS have very very little practical experience actually programming. People who go into the field to ascend the ivory tower often just don't do a lot of it, really. Which is, I think, not really very different from a lot of fields. There's a distinct academic track to a lot of fields.
