Interesting to see. I remember when I was trying to get started in programming out of college I hard a time. I had a degree but not a compsci degree so I had some imposter syndrome, especially with all the rejections and how hard the job search process is to deal with.
At some point I took a look what classes an actual cs degree needs. Like half of it was gen ed stuff. Which i took a lot of(liberal arts lol), I was good there. Then there was a ton of advanced math which I already barely got through or decided probably isn't relevant to most jobs unless i want to work with graphics. in hindsight I think i was right on that call
At that point there really isn't that many classes left to fill a degree. One or two classes of fundamental cs topics like ds and algorithms, which is all free online to learn. an OS class, db class networking class and some elective cs fun stuff. Degree felt less necessary and more like a checkbox. i learned it all on my own, think i did alright.
