I’m trying to decide whether it would be worth spending an additional 2 years upgrading my associates to a bachelor’s in CS or not.

I don’t see much of a demand for the RHCSA in my area (Toronto, Canada) but I see that basically every job posting has a degree requirement.

I’d be 25 by the time I finish school with the degree but I honestly just want to start applying for jobs I don’t want to waste time.

I have the A+, CCNA and LFCS. I get my associates next week.

I’m aware that I’ll probably get a bunch of responses of people saying “I don’t have a degree or certifications!” but I’m genuinely confused as to how you’re in IT without either of those things unless you knew someone or got in very early so some elaboration would be nice.

    German here, no certs aswell

    I got in to IT by just writing on my CV what I know I can do and what I learned in my free time.

    Some company interviewed me, I could convince them that I really know a lot of stuff and that got me in.

    Ever since then all I had where the companies I worked at and that was sufficient
