Paul sees a major trend - the value and meaning of "education" is changing. For too long, it meant getting into a school, going to classes and graduating. That means less today when you can be "educated" on how to learn a new software language, develop a market-driven solution and earn a living from it.
I am one of those who 10 years ago stopped caring about hiring people based on college degrees. I cared more (and still do) about their skills, abilities and what they had created.
I am also a firm disbeliever in having to get software "certifications" - they are meaningless, as Paul proves out, because they have no indication in regards to performance.
