This is unrelated to your question. But, as another degree-less father in tech, I was wondering why you wanted to show your children the importance of a degree. You yourself didn't have one through all of your success. I would argue you wouldn't have been nearly as successful either if you had chosen from the get-go to go the BSBA route. The average BSBA salary seems to hover around 51k, with the top earners making about as much as an entry level dev.

I don't want to be mean, and it's not all about money, I just don't see what value a degree adds for the most part. On the other hand, my son is growing up quickly, and sometimes I wonder if I should teach him that going to college can be worth it. So I really do want to hear it from your perspective.
