Experience is very difficult to quantify. Many hiring programs require some sort of easily quantifiable information as the first filter. In most places, you need the degree to get in the door, then you need experience to actually get the job. > What in your estimation is the percent of coldfusion > people who have these and do you have one yourself? My estimate would basically be the exact opposite of yours. That said, I don't have a degree myself. > For me, I don't have any college experience and I would guess that > about 5% of the coldfusion community actually have a BA/BS. > > Has your experience been different? Yes. The vast majority of CF developers I've met have a BA or BS, although most aren't in CS. As a CF instructor since 1997 or so, I've trained many CF developers, and most had a degree in something.
