Generally speaking getting a Comp. Sci. degree from B.U. was a good move. I've been gainfully employed, and in demand. Only issue with a Comp. Sci. degree is that it can be too theoretical compared to the actual projects you are likely to work on for a software company. I highly recommend getting internships, working an open source project, or otherwise getting practical experience prior to graduation. Also, taking some business courses would be a good move. Most decisions about the software you will be writing are driven by business needs and not technical reasoning. The more you understand why some decisions are made, the less frustrated you will feel when your elegant piece of code gets dumped (it will happen).
