Indeed. My dad has his degree in EE (electrical engineering) and he is a software developer and has been since he came out of college.

I myself dropped out of college to start working full time and I am glad I did. In my Industry (linux system administration) experience is more important than a degree. Now I have After working for the same company for 4+ years I now get 25 days per year of vacation time (plus another 10 paid sick days). I am 25 years old, own my own home, own a 370z and make over 70k/year. The company I work for has grown to almost double its size since I started and has shown extreme growth over the recession. I definitely count my blessings.

I think a having a college education is important but it certainly not gonna help in all the industries that you can work in. I wanted a degree so I would have a fall back in case I didn't get into the industry I wanted but in the end I think I am glad I went with my decision to drop out when I did. With the experience I have now I don't think it would be to hard for me to find another job. Of course I love the company I work for and I doubt they would go under considering how well they have done through the recession so I highly see myself working anywhere else in the next 5 years.
