I don't know if this is really strictly true. There are a handful of people I know of who got hired at Google the "regular" way and they don't have CS degrees. One has an undergrad in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Pure Math, although he's worked as a software developer basically his entire career. I know people with Computer Engineering degrees who work there. And of course outside of core eng people are all over the place. Which is probably not relevant to your situation.

Good stuff. They still have a degree though. I don't, by (foolish?) choice. Interesting that 'a degree' seems to be the approach rather than a specific CS degree though, thanks :)
Yeah, cold comfort, sorry.
