That depends on how good you are... I'm a 17 year old high school drop out
an happily employed :)  Of course I know C/C++/ASM/PERL/HTML & various
script languages (I don't quite know which catagory this is, but I can write
InstallShield's code too).   I also know many APIs...
DirectX/OpenGL/MFC/Windows SDK.. I know I left out alot of stuff, but the
point isn't to look good, its just this:  If you really know what your
doing, and can prove it, then they don't care if you dropped out of
preschool and haven't been to school since, as long as you can read, write,
and interact with other people.
