It depends on the country, the culture, the specific job and the company. Here, you can do without a degree if you a) have a few years' experience (although quantity is never quality but i'm not the one hiring) or b) you have an interesting portfolio of some kind (you commit a lot to an open source project, you have your own github projects, etc). Or both. If you have none, then a degree is almost mandatory. > > Questions: > 1) Are there many people without degrees in the industry? Mostly older folks i guess. Or helpdesk people. > 2) Which companies (just for examples) don't require it? I'd say government companies do require it, everything else is per-company per-job basis. > 3) Are there any hobbyists around here, that earn some money from coding? Not i.
