Short answer: Yup!
Degrees in tech jobs are far from mandatory. However, there are certain nuances here. A degree in computer science will always be a bonus in your resume, no matter what tech job you are pursuing.
Again, it depends on the employer. Technically, it is possible to obtain some self-taught skills and/or get certifications. It also depends on the field. You can definitely make it as a game developer, but in cybersecurity, it’s not that easy to start without a degree.
Make sure you research the requirements of the field. (Before you decide on data science, for example.)
