| I am a systems programmer at a very large and well known software house where I work on their flagship operating system.  
 Toecutter - I've got a fancy degree from a super fancy university and I know for a fact that many, many, many software jobs are only available to people with degrees: associates, bachelors, masters.  Pay is different, opportunity is different.  I interview tons of people and I know that education does matter.  People who have never been exposed to a good computer science education tend to be missing the basics - even those with 10 years experience in the field.
