Yep, in a field that moves as quickly as ours degrees are largely
meaningless for a lot of jobs.  The experience of going to university is
valuable, but the actual qualification isn't.  I still look out for
people without degrees, or with thirds.  They are often the ones who'd
spent all their time spodding when they should have been working, and so
are much better hires :)
