I once worked with a guy that said he prefers candidates that went to college and got a degree, because it shows endurance and a basic level of competence.

As long as a portfolio or other proof of similar competence weighs the same... But I'm guessing it didn't.

Depending on industry it does

Depends on the field. For example, in IT, competence can be tested. Especially when a large percent of job positions aren't filled with people that got a degree in that field. I have dev colleagues with psychology degrees and whatnot and one that only finished highschool, that are better programmers than others I know that do have an IT college degree. Good programmers are hard to come by, and the main aspect that makes you one isn't a college degree at all.
