Answer 1

I can't tell you that woman was lying or true.
But of course you don't need a degree to become a programmer.
A degree is only needed to get a job.
If you want to work freelance, you can do freelance work without a degree. There is no degree but rating is checked.
I have no programming degree but I created a Complete Mobile Blogging System and selling on Codester.

Answer 5

For getting a cool job i think maybe she is correct, it also depends on in which country are you applying for job. But what she said about programming is a lie cuz you dont need any programming degree. There are lot of people who dont have any programming degree but people consider them as great programmers. And the IT field was growing, is growing and will grow much in future.
