What are the chances of actually getting a job at Google straight out of high school?

  It would be pretty tough, although you can replace "Google" with "any roughly Google-quality set of coworkers and projects." But the original question was whether it's really "very difficult to obtain on your own" the sort of perspective and knowledge you get from taking a CS degree. I doubt that, and I think that most people who are similarly smart and spend a few years working hard with other smart people will pick up many of the same skills.

  I work with two people who did.
