    I don't know the situation in the US, but here in Switzerland if you don't have a degree that proves that you're able to do a certain work then it's very hard to get a (good) job, but not impossible though if you're very good at what you do.

    In Finland IT is one profession you can do without finishing school, even cleaners need to go to school.

    Mel - Yes I know. 1) Connections...2) Appearence...3) Skills. I don't have 1 or 2, so I need to exploit 3 as much as I can...that's the purpose of this thread.

    Ukko - Location, U.S.S.A., it's an old play on words comparing the United States to Soviet Russia. Basically means, to hell with everything our government does.

    Many in the forces think that also most likely.

    Well of course one could also get a job in IT in Switzerland, if one can convice the boss that he has very good skills. But otherwise it's very hard and you need a higher education degree to get a good job in IT.

    Yes, you need to be a skilled nerd to do it like that.

    Official skills: 124 IQ, 1920 SAT (93 percentile math, 86 reading, 79 writing), 99 percentile memory score, 22 college credits (2/3 of a year), graduated high school a semester early (so mostly BS non-practice stuff here)

    Unofficial skills: Nose like a bloodhound, self taught experience in natural medicine, minor knowledge of mechanics, minor knowledge of computer diagnostics and troubleshooting.

    I could probably think of more stuff later.
