Thanks for pointing this out as it seems to be a general misconception. I do program some of the time but my main job is to build the software architechture and make sure that each component is abstract and stabile and so on.

I am very glad I took and education because there's no way in hell I would have taken the time to learn the most complicated software structures and design patterns.
For the ones who doesn't know this kind of education:
We don't code most of the time
We learn principles and patterns for building correct software
We get introduced to all technologies so we can make an educated decision between them
We learn hardware programming of robot arms, softdrink dispensers, washing machines and so on.
We have electronics and math on a high level.
We also learn about signal processing and manipulation.
We have to take a course in programming to mobile units like Windows Mobile.
and so on.
Altogether 36 courses and 6 months in practical experience.

It simply does not compare to a self educated guy who might be a solid master who owns me in C++ or C#. If you are that good, you are the kind of guy I wanted hire to do that part of the work.
I have the utmost respect for people who choose not to get an education and just program away, but I just enjoy seeing the bigger picture

lots of people say they can do it but very few can

im just wrapping up my last year (fifth) and in May I'll get a BSc in chemical physics.

The biggest waste of my time, ever.

Would have been such a better idea to do something like law, business, computers, but I did good in high school in chemistry and physics and math and figured I'd try for the hardest thing.

HUGE mistake

now its too late to go back, just a few more months and im done

yeah i wasted tons of time, but id like to think im a better person for it in terms of what i know and what i can do. it also makes me feel good to know that i did something that sets me apart from the AlienQs of the world.

your analogy is erroneous.

Someone has to DESIGN where the joints, rafters, supports for the floors, etc. has to be...

You're still relating the one who works with their hands to the one who works with his mind....

your LOGIC is erroneous
