> There are a number of times I've been the most senior person ever hired without a degree, one Fortune 100 even changed their rules specifically so that they could hire me without a degree.
Aren't these points against your argument? That they had to change the policy to hire someone without a degree implies that it is very uncommon for someone without a degree to get into these upper-level positions to the point that they had never run afoul of this policy before now, or at least that they preferred to keep the policy rather than hire someone without a degree?
