I have a just completed my college degree, and I can not stand college grads. They are very naive and inexperienced. I had already had a few years of IT experience before college. I have also worked in the field during school. I fought the boredom of school, just so I could say I have done it. I ended up teaching most of my IT instructors more than they taught me and also tested out of more that half my computer related classes.
I believe a college degree is a great achievement, but it will not be what will get you hired by me. I would rather hire someone based on their experience, motivation and self achievement than someone with just a college degree. The unfortunate thing is that most recruiters and hiring managers are looking for the paper and not the good employee.
People like you make me angry. Just because a person chooses a different path than the boring college route doesn't make them less of a professional. I believe programming is already a very respected profession.
Knowledge is Power, no matter were it is learned.
