Question Ausbildung vs Computer Science degree?

2 Upvotes

If someone asked you today which path they should take, what would you recommend?

The industry is changing rapidly and I'm interested in knowing which route offers the better opportunities in 2026 and going forward.

  • Which gave you the better start to your career?
  • How do employers view each option?
  • Are there jobs where a degree really matters over an Ausbildung?
  • Looking back, would you make the same decision again?
