I wonder how true that is. It's been my experience that a college
degree shows you can be taught. On the other hand, I have seen some
pretty bright people who never attended college. I would predict a
higher wash-out rate among those without the education.

I'll take that bet. I think the wash-out rate would be fairly consistent
regardless of education - and quite possibly slightly better for non-degree
trainees. I base this on my own experience hiring/training/sometimes firing
software developers.

"Can be taught" != "wants to learn".
