Has that changed that they ACTUALLY tell the candidate that?
The ones I knew interviewing last summer never got a clear answer when they asked.

Right. But there's NO REASON to be confused. It gets asked ad nauseum. Sorry, GET A DEGREE.
If it's between a person as outlined above and one that did 5 years in the military, THEN went to college, which should they pick in a highly competitive environment?
There's isn't a shortage of the latter.
