Degree?

This may not be well received, but here it is. What degree(s) do you have, is it technical or not, just trying to find out where the majority of developers stand. I have found that a lot have technical backgrounds but not always directly related to information technology. What do you say? I don't personally feel that a technical background is always required, however can help. Nick Parker
High School Diploma.. That's it. Jason Gerard

None! I stopped attending classes my third year, second semester of college. I realized that I was mostly wasing my time, and would be of better use doing real code, not listening to how instructors, who never wrote any real code in their lives, thought real code should be written. (Note that I worked as a programmer before college, worked as a programmer for my first college, and worked as the assistant SysAdm for my second college. The summer before my third year of college, I worked as a developer for Prodigy. After doing that much real-world work, you start to realize that, in some respects, the college courses were a step backward from where I was, and far from where I wanted to be! Since then, I have never looked back, nor have I been forced to associate or work with those that think that a degree is The Beginning of knowledge/ability, rather than one of many beginnings. Peace! -=- James.

B.S. M.S. in metallurgical engineering. B.S. and working towards PhD in computer science. Lots of places use educational background as a screening criteria for employment. IMO higher degree -> higher pay.

Mine's an engineering degree in Mining! Yup, drill and blast used to be a high light of my younger days ;P Fortunately, I discovered that man handling users was a much more enjoyable past time that trying to separate copper minerals from zinc minerals. Chris

Computer Engineering (almost - I will have it in June). Definitely would not have gotten my job without it. Jon Sagara There is no spoon.

Nick Parker wrote: What degree(s) do you have...? Bachelor of Arts in History, University of Florida Go Gators! I have found that there is some small degree of snobbishness from the recent BSCS graduates. Must be that their classes taught them technology that is out of date AND irrelevant. The local highly praised college teaches COBOL and just started Java. I often mentor new programmers and the grads will give me some sh!t until I start taking them to school. The only classes that they took that were worth anything are usually Algorithms and Beginning Java (for the intro to OO). -John

B.A. in Computer Science (liberal arts school - hence a B.A. instead of a B.S.) It seems if you are good enough you can get a job without a degree, but having a degree - especially at a college that has a good reputation (my college invented BASIC!) helps a lot. Don't have a masters. That seems to be a wash... some places prefer a couple years experience, others prefer you have the maters. Ph.D. is great for research or university jobs, but you don't see a lot of Ph.D's outside of those settings, it seems. It was well worth the school loan debt I'll be paying off for the next 7 years. :-O recursive adj. See RECURSIVE.
