That's exactly what I'm saying. Your time and money would be better spent on getting a CS degree if you are concerned about career longevity and opportunities.
I am 45 years old, got my degree from a no name school that taught one simple data structures class and the rest of the classes were teaching either outdated programming languages (except for C). I can honestly say that nothing I learned in school served me better than the time I spent hacking around in assembly in the 80s in middle and high school.
How much more “longevity” should I be on the look out for since My degree was useless? I’ve already been doing this professionally for almost 25 years.
