I don't see the need if you have the skills.
We have both self taught, and degree team members.
The degree holders don't shine brighter than those without.
But the door opens wider for the degree holders.
Same. I started this career with my only qualifications being that I knew linux computers reasonably well, and I was used to heavy machinery as I grew up on a farm. I have twice the salary of my friends with masters degrees.
Any sort of formal education in finance. i manage a quarter billion dollars.
High school diploma. I've only been specifically asked in one job interview in my entire 25 year career. I currently have employment income in the 94th percentile for a man of my age in my country (according to 2021 census data) - and no high school diploma.
Not the job I have, but the carrer: cooking
From experience, extroversion.
