i'm glad i got a software engineering degree because it mostly focused on actually useful things like design scoping, automated testing, design patterns, architecture, etc etc. poo poo that you actually need if you're going to build something without it turning into a massive pile of poo poo (all my work products are giant piles of poo poo anyways)

The Management posted:a CS degree teaches you computing theory. this is entirely useless to 90% or recipients, whose main challenge after graduation is making some lovely middlewear spit out a web page that only renders in ie6. on rare occasion one of the graduates will remember what a data structure is, and perhaps use it to make their O(n^3) operation not time out. sqlCommand.CommandTimeout = 3600 * 1000; // kept getting errors from database

i too incidentally learned the newest and coolest version control software available from doing projects with classmates, don't know what i'd have done without those in-depth cvs skills. (counting down to the post from the person using rcs in school)

you need the degree to get interviews for your first job. hopefully your first job is as a junior dev, and not QA or a tester because it has a large impact on your career outlook and lifetime earnings. and you don't strictly need the degree to get an interview. the college classes do not actually prepare you to pass the interview(both because college classes largely do not cover what you will actually be doing, and interview are also not testing what you will be doing, it is mostly a test to see if you think like the interviewer), or do the job. the first 6 months or so of your first job will be mostly training with little productive work. and realistically you need many years of training/experience before you can work without supervision.

Unfortunately not having that degree still follows you around after your first job. I've known people who didn't go the degree route because they had a job straight out of high school, end up leaving their company after 10 years and end up going to school anyway because they were struggling to get their feet in the front door at many places. I'm not saying it's right, but just that it happens more than you'd think.
