IT Job Without a Degree?

Posted by kdawson on from the killing-oneself-by-degrees dept.

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? From browsing the job postings on Monster and such, it would seem that everyone wants university papers. Is there hope for computer enthusiasts who didn't go to college?"

    Prior to my retirement I spent five years as a technical architect. No degree. Made an absolute fucking fortune and an insane portfolio. Now I'm dedicating the next decade to being with my family. Fuck the work.
