The best way to judge your experience as a programmer is not by educational level, but more by number of years of experience. If you have been a novice programmer for X number of years conider your true experience in the pro world to factor about X&#x2F;5. But mainly just be honest about that number. If you&#x27;ve done 5 on your own, call it 1. But just you should be looking for entry level and you might be able to cut it in the real world.
