At startups...no one cares (or even usually respects) a uni degree. At large established companies like google or FB that's different. I have friends that have taken jobs in silicon valley that say that at the interviews no one ever even asked about education. At startups, they care more about what you can do. I would much rather hire a coder with 4 years experience than a fresh grad. I would like to see an active github account rather than a degree. Show me what you can do!!
