I love to programWhy do I hate programming classes?

I teach myself (exceptions being getting help from friends) everything now, I just don't think I can get a job off of self taught knowledge. I honestly completely hate the thought of this logic but I can't just apply for a job at Apple and on my resume say "taught myself rails" can I? Don't most places want to hire poeple who have delved into the programming courses at a university?

You need more than Rails to work at Apple, but for most coding jobs, a few projects on Github is as good as a degree.

I was just using that as an example, but that's interesting. I didn't think about using projects as a resume.
