I once applied for a job at a university to develop backend systems. They rejected me immediately because I didn't have higher education, then they called me 2 months later, when someone actually read my resume and saw my skills. I will tell everyone that skills, recent projects, and cool hobbies will prove you are qualified way more than a degree!
