Let me make sure I get it:  They want to take maladjusted teenage geeks,
give them more money than they've ever seen, and deprive them of the 4
years where they're most likely to make new friends and get laid?


If college were simply about education, I don't think anyone would go.
I don't necessarily think that having/not having the slip of paper ought
be a litmus test for a job application, but I do know that the techs I
have run into who completely bypassed college have had deficiencies that,
IMO, could probably have been helped by being in a little more structured
environment.  Maybe I'm biased because I'm a little peeved at the 18-y.o.
webhead who I'm having to cleanup after, since he had no idea how to
structure/manage the server side of his pretty pages.
