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

Application of Mind (AoM) is of prime importance in any job. Degree(s)
and knowledge without AoM is worthless. I had no choice but to let go
4 such individuals in the last 18 months.

I have been programming for the past 9 years and learning languages,
scripting etc all the time. I took a CS degree because I am interested
in computers but i didn't learn much in college as i have learned
before and after college. Colleges don't teach people how to do real
time work. Self learned programmers are more passionate in their jobs,
I am not talking out people who work and learned for just a job, but
about people who are really passionate about programming and
computers.
There is more of an interest and passion there than self learned and
college taught. Hiring managers should look for people who have the
interest and the passion to work rather than degree and just
theoretical knowledge.
