That's like my story. I dropped out of CS degree and spent 20 years working on some great self motivated projects, I've had CGI videos on Mtv including one for a #1 charted band (not the song I did), taken a company from $250k turnover paper based business to $1m+ by computerising, started an ISP.
But when I reflect: "no degree" always rankled, especially when I was hanging out with MIT grads at conferences. It definitely opened doors to them that were closed to me. I have heard "I could get you a semester of research in my lab if you had a degree".
So here I am at 46 doing a BSc and am lining up my doctorate. Dr SixSigma has a good ring to it.
