NOBO, I never went to college, never had the chance to go to college, but what I did do is work as a computer programmer since I was 17 years old for city government, at age 19 I was working as a database administrator for GM, at age 21 opened up my first Web Development company. I think college education is extremely important, no doubt about it, but it is the drive and the acknowledgment of the opportunities of this Great Country that got me places at much earlier age.
Oh and the people I worked for gave me the best education I could ever ask for.
Now as I am more settled, I think I will take my college courses online.
