What can I say? The Computing Science degree I took is absolutely the single biggest investment giving greatest RoI for me financially, for intellectually, and for longevity of working experience.
But the costs are driven higher due to federal loans. If we stop Uncle Sam being an underwriter for college loans then the market will collapse, bringing prices down, IMO.
- GordonS 5y agoIt may have led to you getting a job, but putting aside that checkbox on your resume/CV, do you think it's worth it in a general sense? When I'm hiring for tech roles, I personally couldn't care a jot about whether or not the candidate has a degree. If someone already knows how to code, do DevOps or whatever, what would a degree really add, apart from making sure candidates had gone through the same debt-gathering process that I had? For background, I do have a Computing degree, but have often wondered what the real point was, and what the real point behind companies gatekeeping based on degrees is.
