Before making assumptions on someone based off their degree, perhaps consider the individual's life and socioeconomic circumstances that led them to learning a new skill/career/trade later in life.
Take for example, me: my mom died when I was 15 and in high school. Thinking about my career wasn't something on my mind- I was trying to get through each week. My grades suffered, and (obviously) no top schools were interested in me. I didn't even hear about CS until I was 25.
Check your privilege when judging folks who attended bootcamps/are self taught/etc. Everyone's story is different, and everyone has a unique perspective to contribute to tech. ESPECIALLY if you come from a non-traditional path ❤️
Another great example is my friend and mentee @LaRenaiocco. It's been Incredible to see her journey over the last year(!!) ❤️🥲 We'll be chatting about it today on @LearnTV today on #HelloWorldLive 📺 at 10:30am PST 🤡🎪

Also, consider hiring my pal @MetzinAround- a high school teacher who learned to code during the global Panera.
If PJ hadn't learned to code, we wouldn't have @bot_shania @MechanicalCarey or @BotianaGrande. I don't want to even imagine a world without them. I'm very impressed.
