Nice, I didn't know that. Wondering if UMich/UMD having Larry Page/Sergey Brin as alumni helps somewhat boost the opportunities, like career fairs.

In my family, we have one with a history degree from a school no one knows. He's very intelligent, loved to code, taught himself and worked his way into a top developer position at Microsoft. Another went to a good school, but not the top for CS. But she also is highly intelligent and worked really hard. Now going through the security clearance for the FBI where the salary will be huge. Lots of students go into CS thinking they will make all this money. The ones who do are smart and know they need to put in the time.

Yawn
Some do it without college degree.
so..
ok

No they don’t do it without a degree unless they lie
