Depends on who is hiring. I’m in the role you are describing. I can’t code, but I’m good at troubleshooting and if required I can read code. I would much prefer to work along someone who spent highschool tinkering with game mods than someone with a CS degree, as troubleshooting requires a specific skillset that is developed better by breaking and fixing things than by learning the fundamentals of how computers work or best practices for coding. That said, if you wanna work for an OEM doing actual chip design or engineering and stuff, you’re prolly gonna need that degree.
