I am also one that is proud to say I have NO degree. I have never set foot in ANY college Yes, you can be successful without a degree All I have is my military training and everything that I taught myself.
It is quite sad Obelix that education is pushing towards 'automation' and not teaching how to rationalize/problem solve/think. It's very prevalent here in the US and is going to be the downfall of this great country. School kids are REQUIRED to have a $200 calculator that does graphing in my community. These kids have no idea how to do long division let alone graph a quadratic equation. They do know how to type it into the calculator and get the result though
