I don't have an education section on my resume and it hasn't hurt me. I figure if they care that much about education over experience then it probably isn't the right atmosphere for me anyway. If I get to the interview and the question comes up there, then I answer honestly.

That's a valid suggestion, and will be considered. My thinking is that most employers want to know your level of education, and if all you've got is a HS diploma, that doesn't leave anything for an "education" section. I figure it's better to have something than to leave it out entirely. On the other hand, my experience with our field indicates that many employers are more interested in hiring great programmers than requiring a CS degree. In this case, an education section may not be warranted at all unless you have a degree to show for.
