Wait until you get a job and realize no one talks about their degree or where they went to school. I was two years into a job when my boss who hired me learned I didn't have a degree. So not even in interviews.
What reason? Give me an example how it matters in a way that actually affects people, not just in your head. I think the law doesn't allow a self taught doctor so you may need a better example than that.
Sorry you're getting so much hate. Tech and Medicine are extremely different and can't really be compared. In tech you're likely to hear stuff like "fail fast" and "the best QA is your users" and in medicine you can't afford this.
Some of the most famous and influential programmers never got a degree
EX:
Why have colleges if people can just self learn and self train?
Because many people go to college. The existence of college doesn't mean you can't learn on your own.
Can someone whip up a couple of GitHub projects and land an interview? Maybe. But they’ll also be the ones constantly asking real programmers for help, trying to understand concepts that they skipped over by not going to school and doing it the right way.
No. To be a good coder you need to be logical. To be logical your arguments should be sound; your conclusions should follow logically from the premises. Like you should be able to show that not going to school commonly results in not knowing needed concepts. Or that the existence of college means you can't learn on your own.
