No you don’t “need” a degree.  Speaking for myself I am in deep gratitude for the fantastic preparation for my career that was provided for me at UTS especially by people like John Hughes who remains a mentor to me even now.  UTS was very practical and even though the technology is long since irrelevant (we were the last year to learn Fortran 4 on punched cards) they taught me to be a programmer, analyst and IT professional.

 

In the end a skill is only as useful as its use and that is why we have great people like Paul (don’t get to proud I’ll probably say something horrible later).

 

So I’m thankful for the start it gave me but also thankful for this list for keeping me A. On my toes and B. Up to date.

Whew! I was worried for a sec. I have not been to Uni and thought I might have to throw in my IT job and get a job as a gigolo or something.... ;-)
