Going to college is still the most successful route towards landing an interview. My managers generally won’t let me schedule an interview with somebody with no degree, even with personal recommendations. And all of my coworkers have college degrees. I hope people don’t read stories like this and draw general conclusions based on rare outliers.

Even if they have years of experience in the industry? I understand for people without experience, but it seems crazy to not hire someone who has been doing the work for 20 years just because they don’t have a degree.

That's pretty uncommon in the industry to wholesale only allow those with degrees. I've even seen people without degrees in defense and aerospace, probably the most hard ass niche concerning degrees.
