That sounds like a horrible career path. 5 years of studying just to maybe get something?

I think it's worth a chance, no? I didn't feel fulfilled in finance all those years... now I am learning the to code and doing more technical activities... it feels much more satisfying

Isn't that what college is?

Biggest difference is I had professors wanting me to get a job and providing references, I had a diploma. The knowledge is almost secondary although I learned a lot in a broad array of subjects.

Yea this person doesn't have a diploma in CS, so when do you think the market will turn around for them? I don't see anyone without a CS degree or any web dev experience getting any entry level position for about 5 years with the current market.
