Pretend that you're the one hiring. You have two applicants that are very capable technically and both have the right attitude. The only difference is that one has a degree and the other does not. Now, who would you choose?
- DanBC 13y agoThe one without a degree has more to prove, and thus will work harder. The one with a degree will feel some amount of entitlement - "I have a degree! Companies will want to hire me!" and thus will not work as hard.
- jister 13y agoThat's just BS. Working hard is about attitude, with or without a degree.
- rfnslyr 13y agoEh, I know a lot of CS/tech grads who don't really do anything, aren't passionate about their field, and don't glance at their work for a second time. They just want to be done with it. I'd hire the person who is better, with or without degree.
