What about the college dropout with 20 years experience developing on a wide range of systems, including 10 years running a software business with several employees? I'm thinking of selling off my business and "getting a regular job" for a change of pace.
Should I go back and get my degree? I was a physics major, a CS degree would be cakewalk now.
Most CS grads that I hired were useless to a small business that didn't have the time and money to train them how to do real-world work. I suppose with my experience I'd be expected to manage a team, but frankly I just like to design and code. Is there a place in a fortune 500 for me, or am I relegated to a startup?
