You've posted quite a bit of drivel, yet I've only seen a few post from from people without degrees. There is no beating the system, you were either hired or not. If there was a degree requirement and you snuck in through a connection without one, then you would be beating a system. But you can't fault anyone for entering a field that has no degree requirement in place. I'm not wholly opposed to your idea, I'm just saying that looking down on someone right now for not having a degree is a bit ridiculous.
