I chose a BA in computer science because it indicated that I’d satisfied the requirements for both - it was literally my choice; I’d done all of the stuff for a BS plus a enough for a minor in a BA. Stupid me thought people would understand that a BA in CS meant you went beyond.
No. No, hiring managers think a BA in CIS is some weaker, non-technical, non-STEM kind of computer thing, like a degree in computer art or something.
So I’ve been lying my whole life; when asked, I say I have a BS in CIS. I wouldn’t say I’m ever exactly worried about being caught out, because it’s easily explainable, but it has crossed my mind occasionally, when filling out applications.
I fear that, one day, the wrong people are going to find out I cheated on my finals in order to graduate, which does have consequences.
Hah!
