most IT look for a degree
PompeyPaul, I totally disagree and I work as a contractor in very large computer development teams for financial, insurance and banking blue chips. It maybe the case in smaller companies, with say 150 programmers
If a company needs an effective C#/Java/SQL/whatever developer they aren't going to base their decision on whether the guy has a degree (even one in computers including experience in programming assembler, ada or pascal
), or whether the guy likes to sail at the weekend. Remind me never to work for your company, and yes I do have a degree.
