I recommend the degree be it a 2 year programming degree or a 4 year computer science degree or something similar. It will make it alot easier when looking for a job. i personally have a 2 year degree and it was hard to find the job i hvae but the bad thing about this job is it pays bad and they are only willing to keep me on while im in school, but in the end its goin to be a great thing as i will have 4 years of job experiece to add to my resume for looking for that perfect job

a four-year coding degree will teach you a lot of very difficult, nearly useless stuff. but you will have a HUGE advantage getting a job.

my good friend got his degree in CS and pretty much got every job he applied for, despite having absolutely NO work experience and pretty average grades. his first job was a perl/sql thing, which focused on two languages that he never once laid eyes on in college. oh, and it paid him about 55k.

lol "sweet sweet days of the internet bubble"

To get almost any decent paying salary, a college degree is more often than not, required.
