I droped out of college when this biz took off for me 6 years ago so I don't have a degree. So I really don't know what I'd be qualified to do

I mean how would the interview go:

"Ya I made tons of money in adult internet. I was good at getting traffic and selling it to sponsors."

I doubt that phrase translates to a 6 figure salary, lol

Hopefully I'm here for good
I have no degree either....but any company that requires one, I would likely label as 'traditional' and not want to be a part of anyways

I've also seen, in the process of hiring many people, that someone with some experience is a LOT more valuale than someone out fo school with a degree but no experience.

The other thing is, school is always behind. Example, if a new programming language comes out, it will be many years before schools ever include it in their curriculum....so you will get someone with basic programming theory but no practical knowledge
