Should I go to college to be a computer programmer?

Question

IT education

Now I'm studying front-end and I want to get a job as a front-end developer in the future. Recently, the question arose about education: where to go - for a humanitarian specialty or for a programmer.
The advantages of the humanities are that the training lasts less than a year, or even two. In addition, because of its ease, it will allow you to devote more time to self-education and freelancing.
Well, the programmer, after all, is closer to the "dream job".
What do you advise on this matter? Will education be taken into account when applying for a job if it is a college and not a tower?

Answer 1

Maybe then it’s easier not to go to school at all and devote more time to self-education?

Answer 2

He left after 9 in college, 3 years 10 months unlearned, specialty - technician-programmer.
For 4 years of study, there was a lot of things, but I will note the most basic: all training programs are hopelessly outdated, and even if not, there are few qualified teachers. We were taught Pascal as the first language, then Delphi and they said that it was cool, and we believed.
There was also an OS teacher who made me copy-paste the code in asma and php into a notebook and open it ONLY through the donkey (otherwise, you see, it won’t work), and a lot of all sorts of strange frames ...
And the answer to the question itself is this: if you are not a stupid person, you know what you want, then what prevents you from going to college and doing what is interesting? Dig in the direction of development on the front-dev, there you can get closer to the server part. In general, the main thing is desire and purpose, aspiration. Where you go is not important. Although I personally think that it is more difficult in universities, it is easier with sharaga - more free time for self-education. That is why many go after 9, and study there, really study, only a few.
Personally, I do not regret that I left after 9: I graduated from college, applied for part-time, you can work and open up new horizons.

Answer 3

training programs in length for humanities and techies differ by a maximum of a year, well, not by two.
and in college, in general, after 11 years, everyone studies for 2-3 years, as far as I remember, and those specialties were 2 years each.

Answer 4

Get a job as a junior, after a year or two of work you will understand whether you need a diploma.
