Requiring a CS Major does not make sense. Sensible employers asks for programmers that know how to program, not for a piece of paper. For instance, at work here nobody has a CS degree, but still I would say that we have very competent programmers. You need a way to prove that you are a competent programmer. Partecipating to Open Source projects, writing articles about programming or having a technical blog are ways to show your expertise. Here when we hire people we look at their posts in public newsgroups. I find the quality of the posts a very good indicator of the quality of the perspective employees. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
