You also did it smart though and went to college and didn't go to a four year ivy league university for some stupid shit like a "history degree" that leaves you qualified to be a receptionist if you do not go into a field that would require such a degree.

Long ago when I worked for a big tech company they would not promote you past a certain level unless you had a degree. It was a stupid policy because there were people who had been there 10 years and really knew the job well that didn't get promoted, yet others that had been there 2 years with a degree in a field that had nothing to do with the industry got promoted. So in many corporate environments having the degree can help you even if it is in some crazy field.
