I started programming at the age of 10, almost 30 years ago. By the time I reached college age it seemed like a waste of time to study CS, though I still wanted a degree so I studied business.
Hackers without a degree are not uncommon today but were unheard of in the 90s, when I graduated. It made it very hard for me to get the first the job, but if anything made me more motivated to prove myself. Within less than a year I became a team lead and had no issues since, because I had the track record.
