There's multiple ways to achieve most things

If you have some strong references, your way can be faster depending on your ability to sell yourself. Otherwise you are just a littlebit fucked if you want a job. Without strong references or an education -> no callback -> no chance to present yourself and your skills. Even if you do get a callback you will have a hard time convincing them you are the man for the job since you have nothing to show.

Obviously I like my way better, otherwise I would have chosen differently.
