Re:No, it is not reasonable. (Score 1)

It is entirely reasonable. Having a degree, and even several (perhaps many) years of verifiable / verified "experience" says very little about your actual qualifications. One of the best developers I know has a degree in history, and within 6 months of beginning development was producing better quality work than some guys who have been developing for years.

I could also say the same about other professions. My sister graduated Magna Cum Laude in her BS Computer Science degree, is far more articulate then many lawyers I have met, is incredibly smart and analytical (in fact I know no one who could "out-talk" my sister), and is currently doing her masters in Stanford on scholarship. Needless to say, I think she will make a far better lawyer than half the lawyers in the United States.

So having said what you just said above, wouldn't you say that argument applies to just about any profession in the world?
