Why need graduate for being programner, without graduate i don't see programmer?

Answer 1

To be a programmer you just need skills
No need of graduation degree and even to get job you just n need skills as most of the leading companies hire on the basis of skills

Answer 2

Martin Taylor I agree...

As someone who got a degree in a completely unrelated field of study,
I can say that my own career path is an exception to the norm. Most professional developers I've met in the industry took a more conventional path. The few I've met who are like me, share a similar story...

We all seemed to rapidly and naturally discover a strong intuition for programming; have a high aptitude for learning in general; and possess an inherent affinity for reverse engineering anything and everything with little struggle.

We all seemed had applied these capabilities to similar opportunities that were pivotal in breaking us into this industry.

In short, success for people like me without a CS degree requires, at minimum, the intersection of two things...

1. The realization and self-awareness of one's raw talent in programming.

2. The dumb luck to capitalize on said talent when the rare opportunity presents itself to break into the industry.

Answer 3

I've heard that companies like Google are gradually getting rid of the degree requirement in the recruitment process.

Vocational training and some boot camps also apparently help.

Answer 4

The cost of college education makes it difficult for many young people today to get a degree in the US compared to many years ago. The situation is better in parts of Europe and Asia.

Answer 5

Indeed... the job pool is a bit smaller for those companies that require a 4 year undergraduate degree. However, I've not come across a single company or opportunity where they would turn away someone who has a non CS degree, but has experience in software.

That said, the new trend seems to be getting more flexible with more and more job postings that include language to the effect of...

"4 year computer science related degree or equivalent experience that we won't care." 🤣😂

I often find that once you get your first serious gig under your belt, it's much easier to land interviews based on some established baseline experience.

For me, I'm constantly getting bombarded by headhunters via annoying calls, spam email, and LinkedIn messages for jobs. It's always clear as day on my LinkedIn profile that my degree is not CS related. It's the experience profile that attracts them.

Answer 6

The freelance route maybe an option for someone without a degree.

Answer 7
