More interesting is that the “self-taught” group as a whole has the highest average salary of all the education levels. That is one of the two big surprises for me in this survey. The other is the leadership roles having a narrower range and lower top end than dev positions.

Personally I don't think that is at all surprising. A college education doesn't mean you know what you are doing. The self taught group learned by doing something. My guess is they had a problem to solve and found out to solve it. That's a better education than the towers of Hanoi, some useless sorting algorithm that will never be relevant or the misc crap that is taught in CS.
