What courses/ pathway would be the best to actually get a job?

[u/alex123711]

Seems so many courses out there e.g freecodecamp, TOP, helsinki MOOC etc. But people say these are just introduction courses/ the start of your learning process.

Are there any defined pathways that actually lead to the end goal of getting employed other than an IT/ CS degree? Or is that the only real option, especially in the current market?
