<p>Garsh, I always just reckoned that sure if you wanna start off in investment bankin’ or some other fancy-pants prestige job then degree makes the difference, but ya know, when it comes right down to it, if ya got the talent and the guts and the gumption in the long run it’d be those qualities that earns ya a fancy desk and a nice window.</p>
<p>I reckon it’s got somethin’ to do with degrees as a signallin’ device or some-such, and, welp, the more experience ya get the less folks’ll rely on what’s (and let’s be honest here) a pretty darned noisy signal.</p>
<p>But maybe I’m just a naive country rube who can’t make head nor tails of yer swanky city ways.</p>
