Yes, I have a degree in Comp Sci from the University of Maryland. It's incredibly useful. A base in programming fundamentals is invaluable. Don't let the fancy, million-dollar cars and diamond-studded keyboards dissuade you. About 80% of my daily work is straight from CS 101: dealing with arrays, for loops, commenting properly, fixing memory leaks, NULL pointer crashes, etc. etc. That's the beauty of programming. From space shuttles to coffee grinders to Skyrim, it's all basically the same, just with a different knowledge / requirements set.
