Most of the IT people that I know and/or have worked with have degrees. But then again I live in a town with two large universities and a couple of junior colleges. There are like 35,000-40,000 students in town so BA/BS's are a dime a dozen. However, most of of the IT ppl I have worked with don't have CS or MIS degrees. The most talented developer I have *ever* worked with got his BS in nutrition. While I put a high premium on autodidacticism, there is some thing to be said having a college degree. Namely, that during the period of life when one is most prone to screwing up, they managed to commit to some thing and follow through with it. ;) Though life does throw curve balls that doesn't allow one the opportunity to go to/ finish college. In that respect I was fortunate. My $0.02 and worth every penny. G!
