    I just said “school”. You don’t need a higher education, but it’s a relatively good way to learn to learn. You may not be looking for that in the resume, but you are looking for other indicators this person has learned to work through challenges. For entry level positions, an education goes a long way in showing that.

    I’m a University drop out and also the principal engineer of my department in a 40+ billion dollar company, I definitely don’t think education is that important, but it does count when you don’t know the candidate at all.
