Haven't you been programming for well over four years at this point? If you had spent those four years in college you probably would've come away with a nice software job instead.

Yeah there is a lot of filler in college, and from a purely pragmatic standpoint it's not that useful, but degrees still hold value. This topic comes off as pretty bitter. You realize that, if it's supposedly so easy to master software through these tutorials, there are millions of others out there thinking the same thing? Self-teaching is great if you can show off something really cool but good luck trying to get by just telling people you have no formal education and just watched a few videos.
