Uh, that's not true at all - most Googlers don't have a masters. Do you have a source?

  I can't find the source again. Instead, here some numbers showing that 76% of ALL Google employees have a degree. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/28/this-tech-company-has-the-most-highly-educated-employees.html https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/28/this-tech-company-has-the-mo... The saying that one doesn't need a degree to get a tech job is nonsense. Do the test: Ask one guy working in one of the major tech company how many of his direct neighbors have a degree, most likely it's all of them.

These statements directly contradict. 24% of ALL Google employees don't have a degree. > Ask one guy working in one of the major tech company how many of his direct neighbors have a degree I know that I was hired into my current role without having a CS degree at the time [1}, based solely on my open-source portfolio. [1] I now have a BSc in CS because I work part-time and attended university in parallel.

      The statements don't contradict. Read the source, the other 24% are marked as "unknown" status, not as not having a degree. Furthermore, that's the statistics for the whole company. It's higher for tech jobs. It's higher for younger folks. It's higher in countries where degrees are affordable.
