What makes you a professional if you have no experience and no degree?
- John23832 10y agoThere are plenty of examples of people succeeding on a "professional" level with no degree in their field of work, or no degree at all. Especially in CS/IT. "Being a professional" is about your ability and how you go about doing your job.

- John23832 10y agoI think being able to do the job at a "professional" level implies you have experience in the subject matter. Now, that experience may not be formal... but formal experience isn't the end-all-be-all anyway. There are plenty of CS masters/PHD holders who write horrifically unprofessional code.
