When choosing between these two types of programs, students should consider their own learning styles and preferences, future and short-term goals, cost, and greater academic plan. Both academic routes can get you a job in the game industry, but what you'll have to do to get there will vary

I think the article does a good job of pointing out the ups and downs of both options. And as the quote above demonstrates, they aren't promoting one over the other. It is a balanced piece asking the readers to choose themselves based on their own preferences.

Nice read. Really good at clarifying some of the main things to consider when deciding between Computer Science or specialized degrees.  :Thmbsup:
