Beoming a game designer: game design degree vs computer science degree. What's y'alls thoughts?

Heya, I've been over this before on reddit, but I'd like to get y'alls opinion on this before I finally choose which degree I pursue. From the reddit thread what I got from them is that a game design degree can only be used for game design and has no use anywhere else, so it's gonna be a tough time if you don't get in the industry after college or you turn out not to like it. Also that most or all game design degrees kinda suck. Now, I'd definitely be interested in a computer science degree, I like programming. The thread said it'd be better but it wouldn't prepare me that much, so I'd have to get experience on my own, which im doin anyway right now so that's aight.
