Ok so I'm a high school student in grade 11 looking to get a degree in computer sciences. I looked at the requirements for big Universitys in Canada and they say you only NEED calculous and vectors and no sciences. I wasn't sure if not taking sciences will impact my acceptance probability or if any of you got accepted to universities without highschool science.

    another fallen soul thinking the fight through blood and fire and pain and agony is worth a college degree, this world going closer towards hell each day

    @SukMikeHok I'll bite the bait: you projecting/trolling your ideology into each possible situation is getting annoying, you certainly can get much more, much easier by going through a degree, most jobs might not need e.g. vectors, algorithms, optimization, but there's jobs that do and you'll be happy you know about it, without having to waste time on that, also appreciated by your employer, you're a fucking walking breathing entrepreneur meme.

    Check the requirements for UoW. Or talk to Sam. He knows about how to get in if I remember correctly.

    I got in with Pre-Calc, 2 Sciences (Bio and Comp Sci), English, and then another random subject (I think mine was Physics) of your choice.

    I dropped outta highschool and haven't even finished community yet, and Im in my second job with the state uni here

    Do whatever you want. As long as you can prove in some form or another that you can code what you want to code, they will hire you.

    The degree just increases probabilities and the chance at a higher pay; however, I get paid more than the devs who have degrees at my job because Ive been building a git profile of projects while they were studying. Not to sound pretentious at all, but just trying to give insight on the alternative

    Unless you're really into the academic side of computers, may I suggest software engineering? I took CS because I like programming and such, but SE would have been a much better pick for that...
