    Yes. But with a CS degree you will have an easier way landing jobs. Just the way the world work.

    I'm a project manager. Taught myself Android Dev and my company liked the work I did. They assessed me and are in the process of moving me into the Dev department. If it's what you want you'll find a way to make it happen.

    Yes, but it will be harder. Initially it will be even harder and a lot of places might not even take non-CS grads. The pay will be less compared to a CS grad. But keep pursuing and when you have proven skill set and some experience under your belt, then all these won't matter. Till then hustle on.

    All the best and welcome to devRant!

    Untimately, in my opinion degree is just a cert. I'm currently doing my degree and most of the rant here is alien language for me...
