He actually said he is not interested in jobs which just require you to have the piece of paper saying you have a CS masters, but more interested in jobs which require you have the knowledge a CS masters gives you. From this conclusion he then comes to the idea of just gaining that knowledge doesn't require you go to a university.

This was more on a primer on really thinking about why you want to go to university. Do you need the piece of paper? Or do you just need the knowledge?
