formal education isn't for everyone. that said, what I look for when hiring people is their independent drive. What have they built on their own for fun. Also how they solve problems. These are things that show their true character and aren't really taught in school (basic processes and theories are, but not the creative spirit).

the whole argument about whether or not school is necessary is ridiculous. each case has its own variables. the zoho case he references, they setup their own academy to TRAIN their people to work the way they needed.
