In the worst case scenario, you'll have to re-do your bachelor in CS to get a job.

At my previous company, they fired nearly everyone who doesn't hold a CS degree. That includes me.

I wasn't going to reply to this thread, because everyone debated enough on this topic. However, something you wrote caught my eye. I saw that you've been taking a lot of heat over your contention that you need a CS degree to be employable. What you said about your previous company about how they fired every non-CS grad. Well, they did exactly the same at my company. There was a direct order to fire all engineers and developers (software) who did not have an engineering degree or CS degree. They said anyone with IS, CIS, MIS, IT or other tech-related degrees will be fired as well. They must have "Computer Science" or any "Engineering" degree, no exceptions. That's why when I went back to do my Ph.D., I  limited them to Ph.D. CS or Ph.D EE (my undergrad degree), none of this Ph.D in IT or similar was on my radar.
