Question: do you have a degree in computer science?

Since in my experience: people who talk about their experience with
graduated people often missed the boat themselves and think that reading
a book or two equals years of study.

Oh, and rest assured, it works both ways: people who did graduate are
now and then thinking it's the holy grail and no body can beat it with
home study.

Both are wrong, by the way.
