You don’t, for example, really need a degree in computers if you have years of practical experience with hardwad, networking, programming in C++, Perl, etc. BUT it helps to have at least a BS in computer science.

A freind of mine’s father was an Electronics Engineer at Hughes with just a high school diploma, but he had years of technical bench experience prior to getting that job.

His son also only has a high school diploma and worked for Cervin Vega for years and then other places and now he’s the technical department for maintencne of electronics at a California Public School system.

Both father and son are well unschooled. Both play guitar and keyboads. Both were into photography, darkroom, film, video, audio.
