Lol why go to school if you already had set in your mind?
Either way more power to you infrastructure cats on that one.
Cause of the hoes
But I also wanted to go back to have it on my resume in addition to my CISSP abd get actual hands on experience in security
I've seen a couple of cats get jammed up not having a degree when they were trying to move into managerial roles.
For technical stuff though, it's usually a non issue.

Many recruiters do not care about degrees at a certain level.
If I could do to again though I would have completed my degree. It can certainly be used against you with certain employers.
I still make a high salary.

I'll say this when it comes to degress. If you want to be managerial or work for the government then yeah you gonna need that shyt
Lol nah. For infrastructure it may not be an issue but you arent walking into any software dev/business systems dev role without a degree
When it comes to infrastructure gigs that no degree stuff flies but you will get laughed at thinking you will get into any role associated with development without a degree. Dudes try to use anomalies of the one cat who juuged his way to a high salary as if it is the norm but those dudes all did that stuff back in the day, either way dudes can do what they want with their careers, thats their issue at the end of the day not mine.

Enough white hoes to last me thru ATL
So far there's only one i'd hit in my class, she's in my wedn class. Another black dude already trying to scheme his way in the drawls tho.Still waiting for the pic of these hoes mane
We gotta pick groups of 2-3 this week and I figured he probably already snatched her up
Right. I do a lot of infrastructure and Operations work...but man cracking a Developer job you definitely need to learn underlying theory, algorithms, and data structures and that generally means taking the formal education route.
My friend is an Oracle DBA but is going back to school for Data Science. Was showing me some of his Differential Equations homework. I did calculus in college but I was like
Going back to school is my next step. You have to always continue your education.

With the industry going more and more towards automation and cloud most of these fufu jobs dudes used to be able to get with just a cert are going away. There are literally tools that do must of the stuff these entry level jobs do in a few scripts lol. And then with the rise lf devops many companies are looking for sys admins with development skills and if you think self studying will make you a good developer in a few months idk what to tell you lol. And them you have all these managed services companies doing the work for companies that no longer want to manager infrastructure in house all i can say is good luck to some of these dudes.

Lets put it this way. if you dont have a degree, you better be damn good at what you do. Like, you better be the most talented, you need to live and breath this shyt, and blow all competition away when you go for roles. It that aint you, then get a degree. Otherwise you are always gonna be that cat wondering why you arent paid as much as others or wondering why you keep losing out on jobs and such.
let thecoli tell it all you need is a HS diploma and an A+ cert
