Dropped out of college in 94, went to Microsoft during the 95 launch and have had a rewarding career over the last 23 years. I'm at the top of my field, making money I could have only hoped for if I had followed my original goal of being a lawyer, and I never picked up any college debt. The point of college if you expect to do technical work is to get your foot in the door the summer after graduation. After that first job, your on your own with your skills and work ethic. The joke we used to make many many years ago was that a 4 year CS degree meant you were 5 years behind the curve. Of course the go-go 90's were a different time.
