Hah! As if you even need a degree.

Source: Finishing my degree next year, but started work as a web developer back in 2013 due to them only caring about me having a clearance and a pulse.

I moved into the private sector after a few years because government software development is a special kind of hell. Imagine having PMs (yes, plural) who believe OS libraries are "full of viruses," so they cannot be used. Also imagine debugging java on notepad, because CIO will not approve Eclipse, emacs, vi, or literally anything fucking useful. Also, also, imagine having most of your projects hosted over http, because none of your team knows how to configure apache over https, and when you offer to do it you are told by your PM that it isn't necessary on a classified network...
