"Although there are people working in the software field without degrees, people who come from an academic background acquires knowledge that is impossible to obtain on your own.

"Project managers are better off hiring graduates, because they know how to study, and they understand the meaning of commitment. We have the ability to sit and accompany a product from start to finish, and that is a significant factor in this field, due to the high turnover.

"Personally, during my hiring process, the recruiters were impressed by the fact that I had taken a software security course. The practical aspects of SCE helped me, and the Project Oriented approach provides hands on experience while studying."
