is quite the ignorant statement. Especially in an internet world.

I know many a drop-out who did a lot better for themselves than if they stayed in school. I myself am ultra-happy to have dropped out of CS in college to start working in the field instead.

When hiring, I give total edge to people with experience/skills over people with a degree and potential.

While some people get out of school deep in debt and with fewer and fewer jobs available without work experience, there are others who didn't pursue school who are years ahead of their peers in experience/compensation/position.

Just wanted to point that out
