degrees don't matter and never have certifications always matter though and are WAY cheaper to obtain.

You not going for your adn anymore?

i might come back ti it after i get a cert for web dev

i need more money coming into the house

nursing school was wayyyy too stressful and demanded more out of me than i can give at the moment

do what you gotta do bro, nursing will always be there, but yes i agree, the stress is pretty high but the pay off will be worth it once you have the opportunity to come back to it. wishing you the best

because job hopping is how you make money in tech.

i had talks with one such company, who gave me an offer. i would've been stuck at $45k with NO possibility of pay raises or advancement, doing the same work as more senior employees at the same company to boot and making significantly less than i did when i was an intern for 3 whole years out of school. they would've flew me out, trained me, and put me in a job that i can't leave at a fixed rate regardless of CoL. imagine if i ended up in the bay area making that money.

what’s your point

It’s not a degree. You can certainly get a job in tech with certs or a bootcamp, but a degree holds a different weight

tbh i don’t think anyone was saying it’s comparable to a degree

The title literally says degree lol

my bad padner
