Tell me again, /g/, how college degrees are useless.

I didn't go to college. I was a sysadmin for a small company. Old guy ran the show.
Some guy my age with less experience, but has a college degree. He didn't know shit all about any of the systems I deployed. He struggled desperately to deploy an ftp server, managed to fuck up the main router config for the office connection without warning anybody, during the day because "his way was better" and couldn't use a bash shell AT ALL. He didn't know how to use ESXi, but poked around with shit he should not have been touching all the time. I have no doubt that guy was making more than I was. Not a single doubt.

Hiring people fresh out of college is such a shitshow. They know the buzzwords but basic shit like OS principles? They know fuck all. Not to mention how many STILL fail FizzBuzz.

I don't know what you mean, give an example. You could mean, "kids these days don't know how to write their own ibm bios", or maybe "kids these days can't burn cds". I don't know what you are saying.
