Shit, I was able to get my GED to get in to college, didn't complete, and get a job at one of the biggest tech companies on a prestigious project without completing either. But I was self taught and lived and breathed tech stuff to get there at 29 while the people with CS degrees were getting there at 22, so there's a downside. But it's just a piece of paper.
