I wonder what specific opportunities he felt he was missing out on. I've been working in software for 17 years without a degree and have never noticed the lack of a degree stopping me from anything. I've never had it come up during interviews.
- triyambakam 4y agoThanks for sharing that, as I've been wondering if I would ever run into that (currently at about four YOE as a SWE) without a degree. I find it interesting that there are people who already have a degree in something but still feel bad they don't have a CS degree. I don't have a degree in anything!
- bialpio 4y agoAs someone already mentioned here, there may be some immigration-related requirements that can be satisfied by this degree? E.g. when immigrating into US, the lawyers had to check for degree equivalency between my 3-year bachelor's degree to check if I satisfy H-1B visa requirements (IIRC the answer was "yes" when they also included the first year of the master's program that I have already completed).
