Anyone reading this and being in the same boat: Be very careful with this advice. There are high-paying jobs out there who will only consider CS grads. Why cripple yourself professionally learning something tangential to what you want to work in?

Anecdotally the majority of non-CS grads I've worked with haven't been anywhere near as good as CS grads.

Are those entry-level jobs? For those I can see it. If you're hiring somebody with 5+ years of experience, though, only considering those with a CS degree is pretty short-sighted.
