How Valuable is a Minor in Computer Science?

DenmaFat asks: "I'm an IT person finally finishing my BA (in Psych) at a big state U. For a few dollars (and about a semester) more, I can also minor in CS. I'll probably do it anyway, because I love the subject matter, but I'm wondering what the value of a CS minor is in the job market. Are there any CS minor holders who can speak from experience on this one?"

Huh? Who else is qualified to do surveys at the mall?

I don't care if you have a minor in CS, a partial degree, or a degree in animal husbandry.

Translation: Knowing how to deal with bullshit is a heck of a lot more important than being able to write Hello World in Java.

For a few dollars (and about a semester) more, I can also minor in CS.

For a few dollars more, you can learn about C++ (the good), Java (the bad), and Perl (the ugly), get a job, and barely make from it all a fistful of dollars.
