What is Reddit's opinion of Degreed?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I don't have a degree anywhere near CS or software and have sever ADHD - concentration problems and severe impulsivity. However, I taught myself programming and have been working in software for 25 years - unmedicated for most of that time. I got started by picking a language with a certification, got that certification, then got my first low paying gig, and at that point, any employeer has only cared what I said in the interview. I've never been unemployed, make a very good salary, and my past job titles include Principal Software Architect for IBM and I turned down an offer from Google.

I have severe adhd so studying for the certification (or anything) tis challenging for me. But, you know, I figured it out using some non-traditional methods. For example, for me, I magically retain a reading if I first read it out loud and record it and then take a walk listening to what I just recorded. It is an utter waste of time for me to just read and study - I'll get about 1% retention and tis a miserable exercise. But reading out loud and listening to it is like magic. Not saying this will work for you, but keep trying stuff out and I'm sure you will find something that works

Summary

1. Find an area in programming or technology with a certification.
2. Figure out how you can study and pass the certification test. Keep trying weird shit until something works.
3. Use certification to get first tech job
4. Profit

This is what worked for me. If I was a young pup, trying my self-taught/ADHD program again, I would focus on the langauge Rust. I would go for this certification https://degreed.com/skill-certification/rust

No problem. The company I work for is also hiring for a number of open positions, and many of them are open to remote candidates.
