I think that nowadays getting a degree isn't a must, especially if you're looking for a job in the IT field. Employers mostly evaluate your skills, not cerficates. So many youngsters spend years in University, not sure if it is the right fit for them. My suggestion is to try something like a Data Analytics Course. After completing a free course like
this in only 6 weeks you are qualified to enter into the workforce on a 60-70k Salary. A good idea for those who are not sure if they want to spend 30k+ on University and put in a 3 year Commitment.
