I was actually leaning towards CS but I'd really have to get a BS, as Johann said. With this other major I know a few people who don't even have a degree and have decent paying jobs. That plus I already have experience freelancing as a web designer.

There are programmers who don't even have a degree and have jobs. If you want to be a web programmer then CS is the better choice.

This about it really well. You have to think about the weight of a B.S. You can go anywhere in the world and your degree will still count. Think about the worst possible situation. Let's say dream act never passes and someone repeals this stupid deferred action thing.

As of now, I graduated and I am working on my master's. All I ask is enough time to finish it. After that, if I get deported or not, I do not care, I feel pretty confident that with my credentials, they will accept me somewhere else.

Please, consider finishing the B.S. It will be hard work, but it will be worth it!

Believe me!!!

Web design is tough to break into. I used to do web design/development when I was in high school. Overcrowded field, and you're competing with people who don't have degrees that produce unbelievable work. Some of these guys are like 15.

haha yea, by the way. I confused you with carnivore, but I am glad you also were excited about the news. My friend is over at Zurich right now and he is working at CERN. My other friend also is at Grenoble very close to the Swiss border. They were orgasmicly excited.
