Of course, there's also a huge plethora of unqualified kids left over from the dotcom boom that are convinced they're talented, able, and knowledgeable just because people were stupid enough to pay them silly money at the time. Thankfully many of those have been weeded out. However instead of realising that they're a bunch of dumbasses, they still squeal about how stupid all companies are and how they're entitled to be treated like gods.

I got a job doing web site design while I was in college... We started doing Cold Fusion web app development in '95, so I learned SQL and web app development... Around '98 I got bored with CF and started teaching myself Java and OO (I'd done some OO w/ C++ in college when I was a Physics major, but that's another story)...
This is why I laugh at job postings requiring a BS in Comp Sci or even a
Masters/PhD in CS. A lot of the really good people in this industry I've
met came from other disciplines and got into this because they really
enjoy it. I know a lot of people with degrees in CS who either don't
like the work or just put in their 40 hrs/week and go home.

How did you end up going from photography to computer programming?

You mean which is more valuable? Depends on where you'reworking andwhat you were working on. In general, I'd say work experience, but then I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and no technical degrees whatsoever, so I'm biased :-)

Hello,
What's your opinion: Master Degree in computers (2 years), or 2 years of work experience?
Thank you,
James
