IT Job Without a Degree?
adh0c writes "I have been lurking Slashdot for some time now without registering and I don't think this question has been answered yet. Is it possible to get a good IT job (assuming that there is such a thing), preferably a sysadmin position, without having a BS or other degree?

In the U.S., inexperience combined with education is valued more than experience, because the worker's initial pay can be low, and the worker can be trained easily due to the education.
