I went to college for the same. Realized that writing isn't something that can actually be 'taught'. In fact, I decided to quit after attending some fiction writing classes - four years of that would've killed off any imagination I had. The rigidity they force upon you in story structure is just insane...they reduce writing to a mere mechanical task. Sheesh...
But I'll go back to college again perhaps, study English literature again, but this time, stick it through to a PhD. Being a professor should be cool :smilewinkgrin:

I do know personally that when you are over 40, some employers will use the lack of a degree as an excuse not to hire the applicant instead of the true discrimanatory reason.
The Fed is the worst. They made the 40-70 age discrimation laws but excluded themselves from enforcement and rarely higher past age 37, and those are mostly military retirees.
So on paper, it helps to have the formal document sometimes. (Or you could go to http://www.backalleypress.com and buy one for entertainment purposes only...)

A lifetime is a long time.
What you do when you are young will effect you the rest of your life.
good or bad.
Once, you have a degree from college (university for our brits), it travels with you the rest of your life.
10-20 yrs from now, a college degree will be the bare minimum for a satisfactory job.
If you plan on being in the web business the rest of your life, I'm positive something will change that one day.
There is one constant in life - change.
Eventhough, you hate going to school/college right now and don't see any benefit in doing it,
you will appreciate it later in life.
If you think you know everything now, you just limited your future potential.
If I wasn't 100% focused on the domain biz right now, I would go back to school.
If you are not sure or can't justify the time or money, just do 1 or 2 courses a semester.
Just take small steps. But, don't stop going to school/college/university.
