Everybody in my team has either a PhD or a MS. My (big tech) company rarely hires people without a college degree, unless they have outstanding accomplishments. In my case, it was a requirement or I wouldn't be working in tech.
In term of training, lectures were unequal, but overall I learned a lot. Would have been impossible to achieve the same level of knowledge on my own. The problem isn't the content, but the discipline to learn things on your own without validation, over several years. That'd take a high level of maturity I didn't have at 18.
