Computer Science

i'm looking around at colleges or universities i can attend for a computer science degree. I've looked over stuff and i really like the idea behind it and i really want to challenge myself and get my degree in it. I have a few questions, and i hope you, /prog/, can help me.
1. I've only heard of two good universities so far for CS, Rutgers and Georgia Tech, any others?(USA or Euro)
2. What jobs can you get as a CS major? Just programming or other things? Because i know it covers everything in the field of theory , programming and mathematics, but is it just limited to programming?
Yours truly

Snide shit aside, learn what you want to spend many years of your life doing. If you're in the US, that's a large investment, and there's no going back. If that's CS, go for it.

Have you ever written code before? If not, you lack the drive for CS. Liking games is not enough. If you haven't written a lot of your own code by now, your vocation lies elsewhere.

But don't have illusions about CS, because it's easy. Electrical/computer/chemical engineering, physics, mathematics, and microbiology are all a lot more involved. At least CS is better than some bullshit disciplines like business, although we take it up the ass from those (mostly) basketcases.

I also recommend you get your undergrad in a different country, Canada being a good choice for Americans. You save money (MIT is now at $33,400US per year for tuition alone), get a similar or better undergrad education, can write "international experience" on a resume, and get your head out of the US echo-chamber for a propaganda machine. US is great for postgrad.
