I like to see lots of personal projects, the more complete and fleshed out the better, it shows you have a passion for the craft. I'm also slightly biased in favor of people without a college degree like myself, but I certainly wouldn't hold a degree against anyone.

so my most impressive candidate would be someone without a degree and quite a few very complete and well polished personal projects.

Translation: young, impressionable, willing to work lots of unpaid overtime
