Are there any high-paying computer jobs that require less than 2 years of college or training?
Question:
Answer:
NO. Let me explain why.
Many corporations are outsourcing nowadays because it's a lot cheaper. Why pay someone who graduated Computer Science (or Computer Related Degree) with a Bachelor's (or higher) degree $45 an hour, when you can pay a person in India, China, or other 3rd world countries, four times cheaper. And this person can deliver the same results. For example, if I was a corportation and I wanted a program developed.
Should I:
a) Pay someone in U.S. $45 (or higher) an hour, or
b) Pay someone in China $10 an hour.
You do the math.
Maybe there is one out there, but what are the odds of you getting it.
Field is getting saturated.. not that many openings anymore.. it sucks, i know. =/
There are jobs out there that someone with 6 months experience could do - but so much competition it takes a college degree to get the job.
To paraphrase from the Crocodile Dundee movie - I don't (have) need a college degree....I've got 20 years experience :-)
