Me either, studied economics, worked in finance and wanted a change. Went back for a CS degree because I wanted a strong foundation and the credential. A lot of the coding I’m learning on my own as I work my way through.

My main point was you titled your post why not having a CS degree is awesome, then proceed to to make a case supporting your own path while offering nothing to support the title’s assertion.

Most likely you thought of the title first then tried to write a post to support it. Once your realized there was nothing to support “not having a CS degree is awesome”, you should have changed the title.

I came and read the post hoping to hear another side explain why the CS degree wasn’t worth getting. My assumption was I would disagree but still wanted to hear the perspective.

I’m still open to hearing why not having a CS degree is awesome. Do you care to add anything further?
