So returning to the statement "...you can get a job just fine without a degree..." comes with an important caveat.
Namely, that you can get a job "just fine" if you're a programmer of sufficient talent and knowledge to be able to be a net-positive influence on a company's financials.
YMMW, but that's a relatively high bar. Higher, at least, than the ease that "just fine" (IMHO) implies.
It's certainly possible, but non-trivial.
- cookiecaper 14y agoI'm pretty sure the concept of employment in general is that any employee is going to supply ample net financial upside to the employer. If you have the skills to be employable as a programmer, you should not need a college degree to find work.
