I take it you are degree-less.

I *do* have a degree, it has nothing to do with my work, however. That's fairly common in IT, my current team is made up people without degrees, one guy is a music major, there are a couple of accountants, and one guy has a BS in sociology, of all things.

Speaking for myself, a degree is little more than a check box. Shows that you can stick with something for four years and have a positive outcome, that's all. What's more important are your capabilities. For instance, I come across guys in IT all the time who got their experience in the military, but don't have a college diploma.

Most of the time, I'd hire them over some instant genius with a four year degree.
