    Comp sci is not just dev work, it’s literally the catch all for all things that deal with, well computers/tech.

    Takes 2 seconds to google what comp sci majors fall into. It’s a broad range of fields.

    These days it might as well be a business degree.

      Computer science is mostly theory. Think algorithms and data structures, not Windows-specific software and settings. What you’re talking about is IT, though some universities don’t separate them properly.

        I know what compsci is, but it’s no longer what it was in the past. It’s now the catch all for most IT jobs. Dev included. And a ton of software is developed for windows because windows is the most dominant os in the world. This isn’t some dig at Linux or macos, it’s just the facts.
