While a defree in CS or Math isn't required to be a successful programmer, it often helps.

If you want a very simplified and non-controversial look at this: think of a degree as another few years of experience. A student in a demanding Uni spends most of his day studying, solving complex problems, thinking in and out of the box, measuring tradeoffs, exercises his logical and methodical thinking, etc. In programming courses, the student also designs, writes and debugs code, learns to use various tools (algorithms, formulae, data structures) to solve problems.

So yes, it helps. But no, it's not an only way. While a fresh person with a degree on the paper looks better than one without, he doesn't necessarily look better than one without but with 3 years of real experience.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
