Alex,<div><br></div><div>My guess is that the CS degree "must" was their way of saying that they're looking for a person who is educated w/r/t core CS topics. I'm making this guess based on the preceding line about not needing a "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">tools/sysadmin engineer". Maybe w/out the CS degree requirement stated, they get a flood of that. </span></div>

<div class="im">> Degree in Computer Science a must.<br>
<br>
</div>Heh, pity, my degree was in EE (even though my wikipedia entry used to<br>
erroneously describe me as a "computer scientist", even that was<br>
recently and blissfully corrected to "computer engineer";-). "a must"<br>
means that you don't care what I may have done in the thirty years<br>
since I got that MSEE, of course (no company worth working for would<br>
ever call something "a must" if it isn't a MUST, right?-).<br>
<br>
I will refrain from actually expressing my opinion about this kind of<br>
CS-snobism (which unfortunately seems to pervade so many places these<br>
days) as this is a family-friendly mailing list and I doubt I could<br>
keep my terminology within those bounds;-).<br>
