On the developer side I have seen studies showing those with less college actually make more than those with the most college education. Good programmers are self taught. It is in their blood. Getting a masters degree in computer science doesn&#x27;t guarantee you are a good developer. It isn&#x27;t a requirement or necessary like some other careers. It&#x27;s meaningless compared to on the job experience.<p>At my last startup, the first 3 developers, including myself, all lacked a college degree. We kicked butt and knocked it out of the park.
