These discussions boil down into those who think having a degree is not such a bad thing and those who think otherwise. I think these discussions would go a bit better if there were less aloofness from both sides. YMMV.

Some of the smartest and most successful people I know have degrees as do some of the most moronic. (And much of the time, I put myself in the latter category.) Conversely, I've learned enduring lessons from men and women who never set foot on a college campus.

Knowledge is where you find it.
