...then don't study computer science. I study CS and it's annoying when someone in a more math/logic oriented course is like "If I get a job at a tech company I won't need this". All that IS computer science, if you just wanna code, learn to code.
Can you get well paying coding jobs with upward mobility without at least a BA in CS?
It's harder to break into but I make 150k and barely graduated high school. Software engineering is largely a field that doesn't care about degrees but about ability. It's harder these days to break into the field than it was 10 years ago when I did but it's absolutely still possible
I can agree with this. Landed my first dev job after working as a tradesman for a decade, but I liked computers enough to learn on my own. My 'trade' offered a 'unique persepective,' I guess.
