I went to college and stopped after I got my Associates because I had already landed a job in the software development world without my degree. Since then I have a few different programming and design jobs, I currently own my own development company that is doing better and better every month.
Anyways, if I decided to go work for someone and they didn't hire me because I didn't have a BA or better, I probably wouldn't want to work for them anyways. I would like to work for someone that believes that experience speaks louder than a degree, because in my eyes, it does. A degree just shows you went through a structured learning experience.
Fantastic point. I think that pretty much sums up my hesitation on continuing, why would I work for a company that doesn't care about me and my experience?
Best of luck with your Development Company and I appreciate the feedback.
Good Luck to you too, and its good to see you started young. I started college when I was 16, landed my first real development job at 17, and have been working in the field ever since. I think in certain situations, being younger is more of an advantage than a disadvantage. I'm 22 now and when people see how much experience I have, they are surprised. I'm sure that's how it will be for you, if its not like that already.
