So has it helped you get a decent job? What do you do for a living?

Also, you mentioned that some upper division undergrad CS courses can transfer to the Master's program for credit. Does this mean if I look into, say, Stanford's program and take as many of the courses as I can as an undergrad, then I'll be able to transfer those over (assuming I go to Stanford for graduate school)?

I'm a programmer. I started by writing software closely related to industrial engineering/operations research type systems, but now I just do it generally.

You probably can't apply a course that you took as an undergraduate toward an MS. Double counting like that isn't generally allowed. But hey, if you've already taken those courses, you can spend more time looking into something that interests you and specialize.
