My BS was in Computer Science also, and I switched to that major FROM
accounting. It was actually how I got introduced to programming in the first
place. There was a course called "Programming for Business Majors". IIRC, you
got at least a B if you could successfully create a FORTRAN program that could
add up a list of numbers or something. :-)
