In the States? Probably not with it. Plenty of jobs on background blind places like triplebyte and code fights. But you will eventually hit a pay ceiling and will probably be passed over for leadership positions. But you have more money to invest in index funds and such and you can save more earlier and retire sooner.

@AndSoWeCode hey dude. Just wanted to get back to you and say thanks for the advice, I think you were the only person to say I should go ahead and start working if I could so I set out to look for a job, I'm one month in as a full stack web dev and I couldn't be happier. You words motivated me to this point and for that I am thankful. You're a legend dude <3

So I've come to a crossroads and I'm trying to work out what the best way forward is and I have a question for y'all.
Is a university degree still worth it in this field? Should I go for it and get my degree or spend that time learning myself? How does this effect getting a job? And if you could go back, what would you do.
Thanks in advance.
