Yes. There are definitely places that won’t talk to you without a degree, but many, many places will take a degree or equivalent. > screwing around at home will actually land you a job. Not anymore I don’t think “screwing around” will land you a job whether it’s at home or at college/uni. But a degree tells me that you can stick by something for longer than a few months even when you don’t always feel like it by our own volition. Someone who has spent a year on and off learning to code hasn’t shown they can code or that they have any sort of consistency- both of which are (equally) as important as each other in a workplace. Someone with a degree in marine biology and a handful of GitHub projects and can pass a programming test? They’re probably my first choice. Someone with 3 years experience of writing code on their own? Absolutely. Show me those candidates and I’ll interview every one of them for a junior role. |

Not speaking for where you work but they might not even pass the automated resume filters anymore unfortunately.
