Wonderful idea. And many people think like you ("stand up for your rights")..... until they are put in a situation like k4 was. I've been in similar situations. How much discrimination should a girl put up with in order to show that she won't put up with discrimination? If you follow the appropriate channels to get it to stop, and it doesn't, sometimes it makes more sense to count your losses, look at it as a learning experience, and move on. I applaud her for staying in the industry despite her previous experiences.
This is why so many people are opting to not get a straight CS degree anymore. I'm currently a senior in college, and actually JUST changed my major from Computer Science to Interdisciplinary Studies (instead of having one major you have two minors plus a bunch of IDST approved courses). After I did this, I found out it was not so uncommon. Maybe this is an option for the person who originally posted the question about how to quickly get a CS degree to look into? Some people with CS degrees may look down on it, but if you keep your minors technical (mine are math and computer science) then it will actually get you places.

Please tell me I am not the only geek who will be OUT tonight. Couple of kegs, fully stocked bar, lots of people. This is how New Year's should be!
