This is absolutely true. Lot of IT jobs don’t need CS degree. For people who has degrees in liberal art, it is important that you get certified in industry certifications and they are not that difficult to get if you’re willing to put in the time.
I taught two of my nephews, one with a communication degree and another one with a music degree, how to code and cybersecurity. After three months, they took AWS exams and certified as AWS solution architect and cyber security. One is working for AWS and the other one is working for a government contractor specializing in cloud transition. Both are making over 115k. The one with communication major is working on the sale side so he is expecting to at least triple his salary in a few years.
You don’t need a CS or engineering degree to do most technology jobs. Industry certifications are just as good, if not better.
