As someone in the computer science/cyber security field who didn't go to college, I tend to agree with this article in a few ways. Having no college degree has really hindered me in terms of landing interviews, but once I'm given a chance on the job I'm always flourished and proved my worth.

I've also found it strange that it didn't matter what my degree was in, just having one wold have secured me interviews. A theoretical degree in Turfgrass Science would have benefited equally as a proper degree in CompSci.
