This is fascinating to me because of the parallels to my own experience. Getting a high paying career in IT without even a college diploma.
I've always felt IT was one of the only industries where this can fly (merit based rewards vs paper based reward system). Almost every job I've got in this industry (support, cloud, TAM, solutions architect) had steep requirements on paper that I did not meet, yet I got the job.
