Is there a point to school? 
tigerthink: I agree.  In fields other than computer programming like physics, school makes sense because there genuinely are years of knowledge you need to acquire before being useful.  This isn't true in computer programming since you tap into those years of knowledge by--get this--programming with libraries.  And using other peoples' software.  Using someone else's web server means I don't need to know how TCP/IP works, or even what it stands for.
