[quote=Anonymous]It’s one of the few fields where what you can do is more important than the credentials you have. In my experience for CS and related fields there are two things you need: brains, and a certain analytical mindset. If you have those things and a willingness to learn you can be very successful despite not having a degree in the field. It’s an amazingly wide and deep field that’s changing all the time, so it’s basically impossible to learn everything you need to know in school. I contrast this with most engineering/law fields etc, where the fundamentals are nailed down and everyone knows what needs to be learned. The basics of civil engineering haven’t changed that much in the last 30 years.[/quote]
