This article exactly me, graduated high school (just) and managed to get into a very low brow university that I dropped out of within the first year it took me awhile but i've found its your experience and body of work that makes the difference, I finally, after working at a pizza shop at night and coding websites during the day for 6 months, a low paying "web developer" role at a publisher that turned out to be hell... still... every day I was there was real experience in the industry. After two years of waiting I got headhunted by an international brand and am currently one of the lead UX devs, when lecturing at career nights etc. I always say the same thing, "do not worry about university if your field is anything to do with the web, go CISCO / MSDN or, do what I did, be self disciplined and teach yourself.
