At a guess, you don't have a degree. They're far from a waste of time
and money. Certainly at the time I did mine, a degree in computer
science equipped you to deal with the world of IT far better than
learning on the job, and consequently, I'd always hire someone with a
relevant degree in preference to an equivalently skilled applicant
without one. Although that said, having seen the ineptitude of some
recent candidates with first class honours in computer science, I have
to wonder what on earth they're teaching them these days...
