If you want to get rich with coding, do not go to college.
You might have been told this lie that “you need a degree to succeed in tech” or “companies only hire graduates” - but that is bs.
You see, even Google don’t require degrees anymore and there are people landing $70k+ jobs in just 4 months using new, much more streamlined and effective ways to get a tech job in 2024.

i've talked to big tech recruiters, all of them told me that they will skip over applications with no college degree 99% of the time or at least favor the guy with a degree. It's important to remember that college is free in a bunch of places aswell.
I think what happens is that a bunch of people go to bad colleges because that's what they can afford/ think it's best.
of course a degree helps, but im a 19yo self taught and today i had my first interview, so dont care about the degree, i just have a really good linkedin and github
Nice one, and yeah exactly this is how it’s done!
Agree most often than not it will depend on the employer. You often have to get past the HR department in which case any degree is probably good, shows employers you can stick at something, often ca;;ed 'the grind'. From my point of view I just got my first tech job, its a government job and I'm 60% of my way through an IT degree, I'm also 53 so it definitely helped ;)
Congrats in the job!
@@InternetMadeCoder Thanks ;)
I hope this is a clickbait title, cus I'm just about to start a computer science degree (with placement). Also I'm 29 😂
It is, while not absolutely necessary it will allow you to apply to more jobs but you need good negotiation skills to get more money.
yes it is. Dont listen to him. Just go there and give it try. Me myself also go to university this year and I´m 32 :)
yeah but where i live its expensive and not affordable and its a life long debt@@lukedax5300
Be compitent in any work you do, use all the tools you need to do your best and be prepared! this advise goes for work or school. I wouldnt say dont go to school cause its a experience that you may never get the chance to do again. Have a good life my friend 😊
From my point of view, what he said in the video is mostly correct. However, he just forgot to mention some facts.
1) Standing on the hiring side, it is very costly if you hire the wrong person. Therefore, a degree is more likely to be trusted than a certificate issued by a random program. It is obvious in any job description that people still list degrees first and "or other equivalent experience" following the degree text.
2) Networking is the key. The video mentions it, and as far as I know, there is no doubt about it. Universities often do it very well due to their long history of doing such kind of work, and they have alumni who graduated from the universities and want to network with like-minded people.
3) Applicant tracking software (ATS) was designed to NOT drop a degree keyword while scanning through a resume.
The video is good, and many people hope it is correct. However, it is too oriented to sell the CourseCareers, which makes it somewhat biased. One additional point is that when attending a local career fair, a hiring manager said he recommends people not to list any certificate they obtained from online courses because he has no way and no time to verify such things. Degrees are fine because they are standard.
This man clearly makes more money creating content for desperate people than actually doing tech products.
sooooo true ! I wished my parents could understand this...
for the last 14 years, my parent's allow me to self study programming instead of attending college.
I agree 💯
hey can we be friends ive been a fan of you and i am learning programming as a hobby latley!
would you consider the coursecareers software development course better than odin project? and if yes is it because youre offiliated?
Yeah of course it’s better, you get direct access to employers and so much more
Hay i wanna become a data engineer and i am thinking of doing college online and the only reason why i am thinking of doing so is because the college is providing the access to every single course from coursera without charging any extra fee, and by doing online i can also focus on my main Data engineering skills.
So what you think about it should i do it or not?
If you can do it and it doesn't cost much, that sounds like a good idea
@@InternetMadeCoder but i don't know why my parents are not understanding and they just want me to go there in college and study there but then i won't get that much time to build my data engineering skills.
dude they are outdated i guess like mines @aryansaraf3592
So you offer courses thats why you hate universities 🤣
The other way around
I don’t offer courses and I regret my degrees. My current career has nothing to do with my majors and I learned the skills for free on the internet. lol
@@nateonmission dont regretet. I had courses it gaves me bassicly nothing. Your time will come 🙂
@@lukedax5300 my time is here. I just hate my loan repayments, that I make with a job I love but that is unrelated to my degree.
Can you please tell me what is your email? I request you to teach how to create and write code in Python on your RUclips channel. Even though I have written a code, can you use my code on your RUclips channel?
