If you are a manager in web hiring people based on how well they did in school/college, you are going to have a lot of issues. As someone else posted, not even Google adopts this kind of hiring approach themselves and they arguably have some of the smartest minds in the business working for them. Some of the smartest minds in web/of our time are actually college dropouts/never attended who have never completed formal education in their lives. The only true way you become a great developer is to teach yourself, hustle and continuously learn. You can study the basics, but an evolving industry such as IT/web development can not give you all of the skills needed for the future. I have seen many developers formally educated with all kinds of degrees from degrees in mathematics to computer science absolutely struggle in a proper work environment. Just because you can succeed academically does not mean you will succeed professionally, two different worlds with two different kinds of expectations. I have regularly seen uneducated developers absolutely wipe the floor with educated developers more times than I can count throughout my career. Perceptions are one thing, reality is another.
