I would hire someone who has mastered the theory and fundamentals
at a university and then focused his/her own effort in adapting and
applying that knowledge in the real world.

In short, you need both the university degree as well as ones own
effort.


Who Needs a Computer Science Degree When There's Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is not even a substitute for text books, let alone a CS degree.
