If you can always find a job and have side projects to fall back on, I don&#x27;t see the point. However, if you imagine yourself taking a shot at climbing the corporate ladder at a huge company, a degree is absolutely essential.<p>I also have a side project that would be able to support me, but I do attend college. In my opinion, having that piece of paper (provided you don&#x27;t go into massive debt for it) is much better than not having it.
