I don't have a B.S. degree and I am a web applications developer for a good company and make a good salary. 18 years of experience and knowledge in both hardware and software have always won out over the fact that I have no degree. Most places I have applied to offer a test for developers to see what kind of programming experience they really have and I always do well on these. Sure, the degree says something up front about your ability but being able to answer their questions and prove that you have the ability goes a long way.

Hmm, you use a lot of homosexual terms to insult people. Is there something you want to tell the class?
