On higher education, programmers and blue-collar jobs

That is why it is better to choose the general direction of education and try to take the maximum number of elective courses, and that is why in the universities undergraduate physics students are given (as many people guess) so many
“unnecessary” courses such as biology, chemistry, or literature, instead of the special ones. In computer science and programming such a basis is maths courses; so the question “Does a programmer need the education?” If the limit of your dreams is to publish a simple game in the App Store, and not to design the artificial intelligence, cryptographic algorithm, or CAD engineering software, you can easily bypass the university to start your career, but even in this case good education will help you.
