Do i have a chance?
Hi everyone! i will try to summarize everything as much as i can, thanks for reading ❤️:
- Im 25 with a bachelor's degree in Psychology.
- I realized this path isn't for me (a bit late i know)
- A few years ago i became interested in programming. Since then i have completed some of the cs50 courses and also built some projects of my own.
- I wouldn't say i have mastered this technologies but i am comfortable working with python, js, sql databases, django, flask, and of course html/css.
- I would like to get a job as a junior software developer, or, actually, any type of tech related entry position and start growing from the bottom.
- My question is: is that possible nowadays? does someone like my have a chance at achieving this at my current level without a cs degree?
- About a cs degree: Is it completely necessary? should i go back to college? Honestly, its not that i dont want to work hard or that i want to cut corners. Its just that, at least in my experience (not a good one), college != hard work and increasing your skills (not always of course), but rather a long, inefficient and expensive bureaucratic process to prove someone you attended some classes. However if i dont stand a chance without a cs degree, i would like to know. Also any tips are welcome, thanks in advance!
