    Well,
    We are (probably all) are webmasters over here. :)
    This means, we like websites in some way or the other. But, I feel that a person, should also have some educational qualification?
    I mean..something to do with IT?
    Your thoughts on this?
    What is the most appropriate degree for a webmaster?

    Not really! :rolleyes:
    You can also become a webmaster gaining more knowledge by yourself.
    It is not that you need to have educational qualification to become a webmaster;)

    A degree? ;) you can do computer sciences :p they have units on website designs and programming. But really, you can just get a diploma at a college instead. Some webmasters here are self taught :eek:

    I have a semester of community college under my belt and I've made dozens of websites professionally.

    This is one of those fields where you can learn so much more on your own.

    I don't think we need a degree. I take computer science in university and I should become a programmer or similar, instead I choose to become a webmaster after I took 3 months course after I graduated.

    Most webmasters here have done self study. On the whole there isn't any degree as such required, but a degree in computer science could help if you wish to be better than average in coding and designing

    If you have a degree that teaches you how to manage the "business", it obviously helps..

    There is a big difference between being a webmaster a loser :D and being a successful one ;)

    You don't need a degree, you just need certain personality traits.

    I guess, it actually depends from person to person.
    Some, think Education is essential..and some don't..
    Different people, different perspective of viewing things.
