Do you need a degree in programming?

Question

IT education

Is there any point in higher education if you have several good sites and similar projects behind your back?

Answer 1

"websites" = this is not programming

Answer 2

Link

Answer 3

It is better if you have a good higher education and an engineering degree.
For example, to work at a large enterprise.
Sites to order is not serious.

Answer 4

You can't go abroad without a diploma.
Otherwise, it is not needed.

Answer 5

Yes, in order to leave Russia by borrowing a low-quality tractor.

Answer 6

Previously, the diploma "said" to everyone who asked him to show: "he studied well and he has the knowledge to work in the direction ...".
Now - it became like this: "he studied well and he had knowledge in the direction ... but this is not accurate, they may not be relevant and you need to check everything again."
If there is no diploma, employers more often evaluate it as follows: “It’s not critical, because he could get the knowledge we needed for the work we needed via the Internet, you just need to check it ...”
The rest is now absolutely unpredictable and the probability of refusal of an applicant without a diploma directly depends from the evolution of one structure or another.
It is better - that no one, but he was.

Answer 7

If you freelance all your life - no.
For knowledge - not really
. For getting a job - yes (well, at least in the Russian Federation). And do not listen to those who will say that this is not so. This is actually an eternal topic. Without a diploma, they will not be accepted into any more or less large office (and there is nothing to say about state offices or, more than aspirations, civil service / law enforcement agencies).
Yes, it's just paper. But without her, you - ... uh, well, you understand, but who?

Answer 8

There are those who are educated and cannot do anything, and there are those who have completed 9 classes and are overwhelmed with work for two years in advance.

Answer 9

If you want to work in top companies - it is required, and a well-known university. And even better with a PhD.
AI will soon learn how to draw websites.
