I worked for years without a degree and there would be times when it actually worked to my advantage. Large companies usually have a minimum pay scale determined by experience and degrees. They could offer me less than the other job applicants with degrees and the same experience. I would, in effect, go to the head of the line. However, generally I have found it better to have the degree. > A CTO and writing for JDJ. Not boasting, but just proving that anything is > possible. Hey, I get JDJ. I guess I'll have to start paying attention to the author's name when I read an article. 8^) No offense intended, but I have found that, many times (but there are exceptions), people who are best at writing about programming are not the same ones who are best at programming -- and vice versa. Here's hoping you're one of the exceptions. In that same vein, many times top notch programmers (developers, Software Engineers, whatever) can't write a resume to save their life. Top technical talent tend to be shy and self-effacing. They don't like to brag or bring undue attention to themselves or their accomplishments. So when I come across a resume that fairly glows in my hands, my first impulse is to throw it away.
