[quote=Anonymous]A different situation but I worked with a lot of former enlisted folks who were trained in intelligence who were making 6 figure salaries without a college degree because of their training in the military and security clearances. We highly encouraged them to get their degrees because it would boost their salaries and because we knew that there would be fewer jobs for people without degrees as the war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria wound down. There are niche openings for kids without college degrees to do well financially in more white collar jobs but they are rare. I can see where strong coding skills would be one of those areas since it is a fast moving industry with changes happening frequently. Experience can trump a degree in some cases. But I would encourage anyone taking that path to be working on their degree while working their job, because the degree is important for the vast majority of people. [/quote]
