Self taught versus a ComputerScience degree..what wil you choose

[comtechoy]

iba yung pinag aralan... I choose cs degree.

[keng_113]

mahirap ata mag aral ng programming ng self-taught lang...

[bOgszY]

naman!...you can practice self taught kapag may idea kana sa programming trough cs degree...

but...

once nakapag cs degree ka...
you can improve your skills thourgh selfthoughts,..
hindi naman lahat natuturo sa cs...

but..

you must have a foundation....
self-taught??? hirap nun...pero i think possible naman..
pero hindi ehh..

[comtechoy]

iba talaga kung may cs degree ka. madali na lang yung self taught.

[ircNewBie]

self taught cannot have any credentials.

[whitehat]

1 for CS..

mahihirapan ka kasing makakuha ng reliable na info kung sarili mu lang pinagaralan..

You can get a CS degree even though you're self-taught.

If you think you can learn more on your own than by listening to your professor, just go to class, sleep the entire lecture. Just be sure to pass the required exams, projects, etc., so you can get your diploma.

Another point of view:

Being able to go through 4 or 5 years of schooling just proves that you are serious (and patient) enough to go through the rigors of the jobs being offered to graduates of a particular degree.

Take note that some companies aren't convinced that self-taught individuals who did not go to 'proper' schooling can take the pressures of work.

Another case in point:

1. Linus Torvalds developed Linux while taking his Master's Degree at the University of Helsinki.
2. Bjarne Stroustrup (father of C++) is a postgraduate degree holder.
3. Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson (and all other members of the original AT&T CSRG) are at least college graduates.
4. Bill Gates did not finish college during his DOS and BASIC days, but remember that he continued his studies after some time.

Doesn't that tell us something? 

[bOgszY]

hahaha...and i'll be next...

[darkangel]

yep why not have both!!!! 

[comtechoy]

the best talaga kung pinagsama ang dalawa. 

[ace_dman]

the best talaga kung pinagsama ang dalawa.  Smiley

your right men..I think it should be both..

mahirap ata mag aral ng programming ng self-taught lang...

 hmm ..depende rin sa tao...

Wala bang pangatlong option?

[raw_knee]

Wala bang pangatlong option?

I don't think there is.

In taking up a degree, you are expected to learn the basics through lectures and class discussions, and later on learn the more complicated stuff on your own, asking your professor questions where things may look cloudy.

So if you're referring to a third option where both "self-taught" and "cs degree" are considered, that should go to "cs degree".

You should never rely solely on class lectures when you study in college. Your professors can only tell you so much. Your course length could increase tenfold if you want lectures on just about everything. Now we wouldn't want that, do we?

hardcore cs >:)
