How much is the programmer's degree abroad

Programmer - one of those professions that are measured in the first place, skills and abilities. It would seem that the main thing is not the crust, and that you know how the hands and head. However, even here the degree often opens up new opportunities for career and professional development. After all abroad "crust" is often more important than in the CIS countries. What? This is what we told the witness.

Igor Lunev lives in Finland, and works as an engineer in the company Rovio Entertainment Ltd (the creators of Angry Birds). Prior to this, he received the Finnish and Austrian education in the field of programming. And he believes that the time is not spent in vain.

Getting a diploma is necessary, first of all, for the prestige. Diploma - a conclusive proof of commitment and motivation of the person, including, and an indicator of its competence, in the form of the estimates. Of course, any person IT-industry can decide for yourself than to win an employer - a beautiful diploma or portfolio of websites / programs / games, but the diploma still has weight always, especially if the person is just entering on market works.

The biggest advantage of getting a degree abroad, I believe, is automatically polished / depth possession of internationally quoted language, if the training is conducted in English (or the language of the host country, if the student is intended to be used in hereinafter).

In addition, the diploma is also the document on the basis of which the employer has no right to pay an employee less than the set (in this case, Finnish) state borders.
