is spending 15k usd on a cs bachelor’s degree worth it today?

(i know everybody probably asks this somewhere in this subreddit every day, but still)

i’m from a 3rd world country, so 15k usd for a private university is a huge amount for me. but i also feel like having a traditional degree still matters for the future.

i’m fully focused on cs and genuinely passionate about it. i think i can do well in this field, but the current tech job market and competition everywhere make me question if the investment is still worth it.

would you do it if you were in my position?
