    In the vast majority of organisations you honestly don't need a degree to make a career in software development; what counts more is the right mindset and experience. I've an electronics degree, and although it got me in the door at my first company as a graduate (a hurdle you've already sidestepped), it hasn't made a blind bit of difference since. However, my partner Beth doesn't have a degree at all - and she's done quite fine for herself too.

    Yeah, but you have a sith lords codpiece. That counts for lots.

      I may have a codpiece or two stashed away, but it's more likely the heavy weapons and the maniacal grin that makes them run. ;P

        Thanks for the input. I actually decided to move on and am starting my new job on Monday next week. Very excited! On top of that, my new job offers reimbursement for educational expenses!

          Is that a euphemism for large breasts? ;)

                I'm too old for it to make much difference. I'd rather have a quiet night in curled round a large bottle of Whisky.
