From talking to various programmers in different fields I was surprised at the amount of people that did not go to college and are now professional programmers.  I do believe that programming is a talent driven profession that some people are naturally good at.  I will more than likely end up going to college though because I feel I need more knowledge before I’m able to obtain a job in the industry.

So that brings me to today’s question: Did you go to college to become a programmer?

If you didn’t go to college do you feel that not having a degree has ever “held you back”?  If you did go to college to you feel it was worth the money and the time?
