I generally don't hire other programmers. I'm looking at what programmers say on GFY, and the scripts that get released these days.
Based on those two things, I'd say at least 50% of programmers in this industry are entirely self-taught - which is a bad thing, since it generally means they are unaware of very basic principles of security, compatibility, etc.
And yes, I know that there are some self-taught programmers that deliver great work. Most never get beyond learning the basics of one or two simple languages, though.
