I'll hold my paycheck against them.
And it'll be less than the guy who has your passion and motivation AND a degree.

Wow, you really think that someone can't learn those thing alone ??
You can learn anything alone. You can teach yourself quantum physics if you want. But do you think self-education is going to be as good being taught by professors? If you do, I suspect you don't have a college degree at all; you haven't gone through that experience. Having Yoda teach you to be a Jedi is more effective than becoming a Jedi by yourself.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Get a CS degree and work as a programmer for 15 years -- like me -- before you comment.
Ditto. CS degrees teach about algorithms and data structures, file systems design, operating system design, parallel programming, software engineering, compiler, grammar and language design, and many other concepts that make CS graduates excellent coders. Non-CS graduates are permanently handicapped and they don't even know it.
