If you seriously don't know what CS means in the context of tech you shouldn't be contributing to this discussion.
| If you just go for the general one, and it is an associate that is around 2 years less time, in the 2 years you save you can get certified by ECCouncil or something like that, you save a bit of money and get to study what you want. But I never went to college so I don't know if my opinion counts,
| Bachelor. Associates means nothing in our dystopi society.

None, because public education is commonly missused as a hidden subvention for private companys. Their only purpose is to form a willing workforce of professional idiots that are used to use proprietary software and standards.
I am tutor at university who only uses and advertise FOSS, but this is an exception. Also tutoring proprietary stuff gets more financial support, either from the university or directly from the software company.

The most exceptions from this, you'll find in studies which include programming. The worst of all are all those "something with media" studies. I often heard that students were told to use a Mac or at least Adobe software by their teachers (universities spend much money for licenses, even thought they get discount)

This is a very interesting discussion. I don't see that happening all too much in my country. Indeed it's quite the opposite. Federal or state run schools usually are seen as serious and demanding, aswell as being respected and free of charge (or very affordable). They also tend to offer more academic studies. Private run schools is something I've however made bad experiences with. Being market oriented they don't much care for software freedom.

Which leads me to believe the more academic a course of study is, the less likely you are to encounter proprietary software. I may be wrong of course, but that sure as hell seems to be the case after wasting years of my life in vocational studies.

The whole world is market oriented. Public estates are either privatized or merge with companies. Reality becomes more and more cyberpunked. And I have really few hope in that things will change/can be changed. HAIL TO THE MARKET!

| What do you think I should go for /tech/?
It's either specialising in Cyber or going with sort of everything in the other one.
