Getting into tech without a degree
That is a common concern, but we have shown time and time again that a degree in computer science is not the only path to work in the tech industry. The most important thing is to get the right training that will give you the much-needed skills, such as software development.
It is also important to note that you will not be limited to software development once you’ve acquired these skills; it may also open doors for careers such as data analytics and development operations (DEV OPS).
