Discussion How important is a degree in CS? A lot of companies now have something along the following in their listed requirements:BA/BS in CS or related field, or equivalent experience desirable. In lieu of degree, relevant skills or equivalent experience.That example is from Google Ireland.So how much better than someone with a degree do you need to be? Or are most jobs out their based entirely off merit and not off a piece of paper? 4 points samdunne 13 years ago 8 comments
