In Europe it is. At least in potential life endangering environments. Maybe not for a web page for the govermenmt in order to apply for trivial documents such as the national ID; but for stuff like Healthcare backends, any self-called Engineer from the US couldn't even join that project without a Bachelor Degree.
- brnt 3y agoI've worked in this area (in Europe) and that is nonsense. There is no requirement, other thans on the software itself. Bachelor-ish people are generally recruited, but not for their degree, but their skills (and low cost).
- anthk 3y agoI'm from Spain. In lots of places you need a proper degree because of the accountability on civil causalitities.
- brnt 3y agoIt depends on what you mean with 'a lot of places', but coding up healthcare data systems or firmware for devices where you'll have no interaction with patients or hospital, it's the company that's liable. Them hiring only people with degrees is almost certainly orthogonal to legal requirements in such cases. Any sort of professional interaction with patients, sure, whole different ballgame.
