            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

            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

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 Must be that their classes taught them technology that is out of date AND irrelevant.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.

                                        BSc (1st Hons) in maths/physics, honours in astrophysics. I was that close to getting my doctorate in Hydrology/geomorphology but was lured away by the dream of doing something that I actually enjoyed in an industry where there was a chance to earn a living in an environment that didn't involve serious wet weather gear and lots of mud.
