          Not true. I have a 2-year Associate Degree in CPT and know more than most of the CS BA's at work. The trick is you have to enjoy development; it must be more than a job. If you are only looking for a job to make good money don't bother. Sink-or-swim, I am sticking to my IT career wherever it goes, and most of the employers I talk to respect that kind of professional commitment.
