I would argue that a CS degree will make finding that first developer role a lot easier. You should also be more prepared for it. After 5+ years of experience it becomes a lot less relevant, and yes there are lots of people that have got a developer job without degrees but I think it takes a lot of dedication and sometimes a bit of luck.
Although as this article claims, £50000 is indeed hard to justify.
- venomsnake 13y agoI have seen CS graduates that are unable to use debugger. I think that CS is great if you like it. But in the real world where cows are not spherical and definitely not in vacuum a CS graduate needs some roughing up from uncooperative chips, frameworks, hisenbugs, undocumented features, undocumented bugs, management hell before throwing them in the trenches. The best developers I know usually come from electrical/communications engineering backgrounds - they are used to stuff not working for no reason and never assume anything.
