Is a degree necessary? Debate on that here.

[Raptor]

Well, since the car challenge thread is getting polluted with school and degree questions, lets just argue that stuff here.

Personally, I have a secondary education from Dunwoody welding and I wouldn't do it again. It never effected my income ever in that field. I have no formal education in automotive which has also not effected that income and I made 80K and turned down jobs for 6 figures in network administration for about ten years. All self tought. If you know what you are doing it in most tech fields and can represent yourself correctly, you do not have to have a degree. So it isn't required. I have hired and fired more college educated idiots than you can imagine. Is that the law and does it apply to everyone, no. If you have natural talent and go to school, you will likely be better off. If you have no natural talent and go to school, you could end up getting in the door of many jobs and find yourself out of work a month later when they realize your capabilities.
