Future of Engineering in the world

Can you become a programmer with just about any college degree?

 

[Ben Espen]

Depending on the company, yes.

However, it is usually easier with a CS degree. It is worth pointing out that there are several levels of occupation covered by the term "programmer" that go all the way from 18-year olds who just learned how to script to the kind of people who design large complicated systems that cost millions of dollars.
