Reply To: Do web developer employers care about your college education?

[__]

For instance, I have a computer science bachelors degree. Of that, maybe 10% is pure web development (my current field of choice), the rest are courses that built up my understanding. I have a decent foundation in databases, operating systems, Human-Computer Interaction, algorithms, distributed systems, networks, written and spoken communication, algebra…

This is what I was referring to – a curriculum based on “the web” (be it at a college, or a vocational-type school) is going to leave you with a very narrow knowledge base, even within the field of study. It’s like studying to be a nurse that only knows how to take your blood pressure. The only thing that learning “nothing more” will give you is -maybe- blissful ignorance. So, whatever you choose, “learn more.”
