Dutchgirl - you're starting to get some really bad advice on this thread.

Trust your gut instinct on this, and don't let these guys talk you out of it - by and large, college is a total waste of money [and when you think about what your tuition money is subsidizing, it's even worse than a waste of money].

nonsense, a degree isn’t required in IT but it VASTLY improves your earning power. Doesn’t matter what the degree is but a 4 year degree is mandatory as you progress up the career ladder. Especially when the job market is tight. I know people who managed to build a career without a degree only to find their options outside that company nonexistent.

Education is never a waste. Doesn’t make them smarter or wiser but it does set them apart from the chaff.
