Dude,
I have to disagree completely --> What lands you a good job is experience not a piece of paper. I have worked with plenty of individuals with either a BS or MS in computer science and rarely, if ever, are they any better than the people without.
I don't have a degree but I have had some fantastic, high level jobs doing everything from building out new trading offices around the world from scratch as an Infrastructure Architect to being the manager of 40+ software developers. Experience always rules and anybody that thinks they'll get a better employee just because they have a degree is a fool.
When we do finally determine how to stop aging, or even reverse it, how do you think that will impact the overall world population? It seems to me that it will have to be priced so exceptionally high that only an elite few can afford it or we will have to go to a China-like rule of only one child per family.
I have to applaud your efforts in this field --> the human race could have definitely benefited greatly if some of the great minds and rulers had not succumbed to old age!
