IT or fine people who need coding done, it will depend on what you are willing to do.

The worst part of your sentiment is it's true so many times... I have a friend who took 2 years of CS/ITAS here on the Island, then another 2 years in Alberta. Although he does indeed know more about the nitty configuration of certain proprietary cough Cisco networking and Windows Domain services than I do, some of the hardware stuff he tells me they're doing is stuff I knew about years ago. I'd love to waltz into his work, get a security clearance badge, and login next to the current employees, beginning my day as if I had worked there all along.  

 

I'm 100% self-taught in the IT field with zero post secondary knowledge, and yet can configure LAMP webserver stacks from a Terminal window on most linux distros, and am able to walk someone through the majority of Windows Control panel screens for Windows 7 / 10 without a computer in front of me. To be clear, I say this not to boast - I'm merely pointing out that real world experience provides time to develop more critical thinking and troubleshooting skills than post secondary ever will, not to mention people skills.
