Yes, I am in charge of hiring for a mid-size business. I have a mix of college educated and non-college educated people in my highest paying jobs. I have no hesitation to hire someone without a college education, but every person working for me who has a college education looks at the big picture of the company in a way non-college educated people don't look at it. The only exception when I look at the 15 or so higher paid people is a man who managed two large retail stores. He didn't own the business but was responsible for the stores' success. Management experience and college education always raise resumes to the top of my pile.

Yeah, it should be seen as a plus, especially on younger candidates. My best hires personally seemed to be people who worked in a variety of fields, had interesting hobbies and lives, lived in multiple cities or countries, and chose jobs that interested them. Some went to college some didn't, but I'll always ask why they chose to not get a degree. A lot of times their answer to that question decides if I hire them or not.
