The School of Experience
Most of us think that if someone graduated from Princeton or Stanford, that they must really know what they're doing.
Most of us trust the status quo that says "if an ivy league school vetted this person, then they're good enough to work for me or on my project."
You know what's better?
Results.
No one will argue with your lack of certifications or degrees if you have a track record of executing.
Just start building.
If you build something today, you'll already be ahead of every graduate who has "Microsoft Office" listed in the "Skills" section of their resume.
Just because a degree is the status quo doesn't mean it's important.
Results are what's important.
There's no need to focus on anything else.
