South Africa here, I got into university for teaching but due to issues with enrollment in that stream I switched to computer science. It sounded fancy and I had no idea what it was. I've been sharpening my skills ever since but I'm struggling with finishing my degree. I was helping people ahead of me with their final year projects as a first year student, I've even hosted free programming classes for anyone interested, I tutored IT at a high school on a contractual agreement but still with all the skills I have I can't find job offers that don't require a degree.
A degree here is a footstep in the door, I can't get in anywhere I want unless I start my own company or startup.
