I do not. I have a degree in International Relations. My experience with PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is completely self-taught. I can't talk to the pay level, but I believe I get paid similarly to other developers with a similar experience level.
Having said that, the key is skills and experience more than education. However, an education can help you build skills that you may not develop otherwise.
- ecubed 15y agoThanks for the feedback. Have you run into any problems or topics in the field that couldn't be self taught?
- steventruong 15y agoThis clearly depends entirely on the individual but majority of my friends are self taught (most of which never majored in EE, CS, or equivalent or even took a single computing class of any kind). They have yet to run into any issue building what they want with any barrier from what I've seen. Not sure if this answer helps but hopefully it does.
