Comment on What I would do if I was 18 nowparent

As a student I've always put my projects before school | uni, because from what I've read and been told experience and the `soft skills` are more important than a degree.

And shouldn't the experience gathered from side projects, eg., documented (or simply hosted) on github account more than a degree?

Seems almost entirely to be a matter of networking and having a degree of some sort to get into decently high paying jobs here in Seattle. Otherwise you end up at a small or mid-sized company, significantly underpaid and wasting your days with their shenanigans.
