I'm an entrepreneurship major at a business school, and starting to work for a web-based startup. I can confidently say that i'm a on par with or better than many hackers who graduate from various comp-science universities.

Having a degree didn't get me my job, knowing people who recognized my skills did.

Thats always the way. Degrees can hold doors open for you, for a while, but not much else. I would expect its more the contacts you make etc.
