True. Experience in real life situations may be the most important thing, after all you cant recreate all that stuff at university :P.

Still, "the piece of paper" is needed and is a must in many careers, were you need to make sure that the guy knows what he says he knows :P (as Rolando stated, medicine is an example). If you think you can learn by yourself and avoid university, good, but it will be harder for you to find a good job, unless it doesn't require such a specialization or you wanna be your own boss :P.

RE: So.. what's your major?
The degree subject is usually largely unrelated to any future career...it's only things like medicine/engineering/law where it really matters.

My degree was English & Sports Science and I'm now an IT Technician, which is based largely on the experience I got working as an Student Computer Officer in my Halls of Residence.

Getting the degree just shows your capacity for learning and for self sufficiency, etc....yet another pointless hoop to jump through in terms of getting a career, but it was a priceless social experience, made some friends who will be friends for life.

I'm a Communication Arts major. I want to be a successful critically acclaimed movie director someday. I am also dreaming of becoming the president or owner of the best Advertising Agency someday. I just love my major because I am able to use all my talents and skills like directing, video graphing, and editing. Besides, I'm an avid fan of movies. My room is filled with DVD movies. I just feel relax and happy every time i am watching a movie.:)
