> but I can say that people I interviewed with degrees generally did better

I can also confirm that.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that people with a formal degree are on average better prepared to interviews.

But sadly, it has absolutely no correlation with work performance. Zero, none.

In fact, I can say that the overwhelming majority of non graduates did far better on the job: more motivated, stays longer, hungrier to learn and prove themselves.
