that’s because IT for the most part SHOULDNT have degrees… IT is a trade for the huge majority of people.

computer science is a thing: we need people to develop new algorithms, etc… but most people don’t need to know most of what’s in a compsci degree

but just like we don’t get structural engineers to do the plumbing and electrical in the buildings they design, we should have the plumbers of the IT world: developers who learned like a trade… 50% theory and 50% on the job training as an apprenticeship

we don’t need more compsci graduates… a degree isn’t some magic bullet - it’s a specific kind of learning that’s suited for a specific kind of profession

    You won't get any argument from me.

    The fact that IT support is basically the new digital version of a janitor or groundskeeper, doesn't stop moron hiring managers from demanding a degree from their IT applicants.

    All I'm saying is that they should stop doing it. It's nonsense.
