Comment on The case against CS master's degrees

Comments

What masters degree (or even undergraduate degree) is any of that not true of?

Yeah, past a certain point you realize how shallow degrees are, as they're merely an organization's approval that you studied something and demonstrated some level of aptitude of it.

Which is to say, you don't need a degree to study/learn things.

Though that approval is helpful in opening doors to employment when you're young, it again is not needed when your history of experience, abilities, and work can do the same later in your career...
