You don’t need a degree to learn programming. There are many, many other jobs besides programming that pay more than minimum wage with varying levels of requirements. People hanging drywall and digging ditches make more than minimum wage.
You think everybody with a job paying more than minimum wage is doing something they love?
- all2 5y agoWelding, auto repair (though the barrier to entry is tools), HVAC, electrician, plumbing, etc. College as a "necessary tool" to get work is seriously broken. I've considered hanging up my "programming" hat and becoming a fabricator (welder, machinist, etc). Not because of the money, but because I know 1) I could make a decent wage and 2) I would enjoy the work more.
