Getting a degree to work in IT seems weird to me, but I was admining before IT classes existed

We’re from a different era my dude. These days it’s all analysts, architects and data scientist.
Who can’t do jack shit without guys like you.

Except now we have to find jobs through connections because we aren’t getting past HR filters.

Architects where I work don’t have degrees, they’re programmers who have shown they understand a significant chunk of our enormous system (government IT)
Analysts are a mixed bag. Some have relevant education, others have relevant experience
Data scientists seem to all be appropriately degreed

Sitting on 18k in debt. I’d actually have a car instead of half a degree and a thumbs up from ECPI. Casino would be good too.

You sound like a sure thing for bioinformatics.
I mean, the pay isn’t great but it’s generally six figures even without a PhD
