Rather it's the overall education. I've known some brilliant programmers that could not put 2 words together to form an intelligent sentence. Hand them a spec and they could whip out some amazing code. Ask them to explain an issue to a user and they fail hopelessly. Also, a degree implies a certain level of "stick-to-it-ness" or perseverance. Meaning that the applicant has started and completed a multi-year program of study. A goal was set and met. That is an important trait for some employers. Gordon J.
