No degree... been professionally programing for close to 20 years. Been using all forms of VB since VB3, all forms of SQL Server since 6.5, Lotus 1-2-3, dBase II (yes, Hack, you're not the only one), Pasacl (back when it was still called Pascal), Ada, .NET (VB & C#), plus a slew of web-based technology, HTML, XHTML, PHP, ASP, CSS, etc. And that doesn't include other languages that I've been exposed to.
