Going to college doesn't make one smart. While college was a great experience, it is far from something everyone should go to. The fact that many businesses require degrees anymore is just plain stupid.
I have dabbled in the art of computers since the late 70's. I helped set up office automation in the Army. I have a "bit of experience" with computers and then get told I need a degree to get a job. 20+ years of experience and a company wants a degree so I can work for them troubleshooting desktops. Also, I am one of those that is getting his IT degree paid for by the gov't/you all - and I thank you! When I graduate I will have a degree that says I "know" what I'm doing and have done for over 20 years!
