55. I have a suspicion about it |

In the computer field now I see more than ever people wanting you to have at least a 4 year degree for most jobs. 10+ years experience and I am finding it hard to find a job, yet I used to make good money in the field.
Perhaps some of the people who have come into the field over the years have degrees and you need to be part of their 'club' or they don't want to see someone get a good job unless they had to go through the same thing they did.
"Gosh, why should I hire this guy making 70k/year when I went to college and he didn't?" and they think for 4 years in a textbook they know more than someone who has been in the field working for years.
I think an education is a good thing - I just don't think you always have to spend a fortune and be in a classroom for years to get one.
