If you have learnt any programming language on your own,
chances are you will become good and would like to start making a living with
what you know and one of the main options you consider is getting a job. Be it
as it may, programming is considered a high level skill acquired only by
computer science degree holders, thereby making it almost impossible for a
non-degree holder to land a job. No big company wants to hire a high school kid
just because he or she can code. But still
this world is made up of talented people so, some times what matters is not the
degree but the job itself.
If I’m given an opportunity to hire anyone, I’d choose those
who can do the job without speaking too much grammar. With this, I believe
there are others who still believe that getting the job done is more important
than the certificate. Now this is where you, a non-degree holder shine, but…….
But it comes at a price!
What price is that? Someone may ask.
You must prove yourself, “Prove myself, how?” Another
question!
Well, I say:
Write a lot of useful codes, engage yourself in open source
projects, write a blog about your findings, summit tutorials in big forums, answer programming questions in
sites like stack exchange, etc. If you can do this, believe me, you will merit
a job.
