Bill gates doesn't have a degree.

Oh yes, that old chestnut. Bill Gates is in his mid-50s, not his late teens
like the original poster. Gates grew up in the fledgling computer world of
the 1970s when opportunities and expectations were very different to what
they are now. It's also probably fair to say that Bill Gates' story isn't
that of the typical IT professional.

When a youngster asks for guidance on career and education I think the
example of someone born in the mid-1950s isn't really relevant.
