Do you need a web developer's tower?

Question

IT education

hello world!
I have no one else to contact, so I'll write a question here. I do not have the opportunity to study at a tower/college, but I was able to learn a programming language (javascript), and layout skills (html&css). In addition to frontend skills, in the future I will study backend. Is it worth taking the course? And what?
If anything, I'm 17 years old.

Answer 1

I am 48 years old, more than 30 of them I have been in IT. Education - 8 classes and "gateway".
I sometimes terribly lack higher education.
Still, it's better when the "training school" is instilled by specialists.
The fact that "programs on (anything)" will not collide with something from mathematics - do not believe it.
You're sitting like this shitting sites, and then a crap is a GIS project, and you start stretching the inverse sine theorem on Krasovsky's geoid, because you need distances between surface points.
Or the task of filtering data, and you are trying to master the Fourier transform.
Or the data from the source might be coming in with bad bits because the source is dangling in orbit and you're running into Bowes-Chowdhury-Hockwingham codes...
Wikipedia? Agas!

Is it clearer? That's it ...
So, listen to the old fool who has had difficulties all his life with what he could have been taught a long time ago - take the tower! Then you won't regret it.

Answer 2

The programmer - yes, it is necessary.
Web form-slap - no.

Answer 3

Try to find a job for an internship / junior, the best confirmation of your skills is a salary.
If at the interview they say that you are not suitable, then be sure to find out why and what you need to study to fix it.
The road will be mastered by the walking one :)

Answer 4

You need to be aware that higher education in the Russian Federation is just selling diplomas. Teachers are not well paid, and if a person knows how to do something, he will earn in green money, and not tell fables to schoolchildren for food. The only correct way is self-education. A diploma must be obtained, at a lower cost.
And here is a fresh example from a decent office (Moscow State University):

From street retail to a hypermarket!

Answer 5

Of course you need to dump abroad

Answer 6

To all that has been said, I will add that a university is not only knowledge, but acquaintances and a community. Sometimes, it's even more important.)

Answer 7

Hello.
No, you don't need an education.
Regarding the search between points, etc. this is obvious bullshit.
You sit down and write, and first write to make it work (faster learning), then take it apart and understand what you wrote wrong.
Start earning, and then act consciously on the exercises.
I did just that at the time.
I earn 200k of yours now.
It takes a lot of effort, but in five years you will be a programmer with 5 years of experience, and not a saleswoman with a higher education. The first is more valued, and where they look only at the diploma, you can politely ignore it.
Good luck

Answer 8

13 years of admin experience. I didn’t graduate from the tower, I don’t have any problems finding a job, I’m satisfied with the salary. They think about getting a diploma, but, I repeat, this does not affect my work. Normal companies look at knowledge, not a diploma. Maybe I'll run into problems trying to move from the technical part to the management of this whole kitchen, time will tell.
