whether you have earned a degree Yes
what level of degree you have earned Bachelor's
what field of study you earned your credentials in Computer Science
whether or not you're currently employed in that same field of study Yes
whether your degree was required for you to attain said job (and I mean whether your specific degree was required, not if, say, a bachelor's degree in general was required) In my case, yes. Not everywhere, but if you don't have one then you need an impressive portfolio of work to make up for it.
your country/region of origin, as this may showcase differences in the education system of one country vs another USA

Has my degree been useful? Yes, though the classes I'm finding I use most are not the stereotypical courses one thinks of when going into CS. For example, CS1-CS4 have proven much less useful than a course I took called Programming Language Concepts, which trained me to pick up new programming languages ludicrously quickly.

And the course I use most of all wasn't even in my major, though I don't use it at work either. A massage/relaxation course is really useful when your Significant Other (as she was at the time; we're now married) has muscle and back problems.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
