@ImDrizzt: Honestly I'm not entirely sure how you'd be able to pitch that to someone. I mean, a lot of the stuff you've listed off are intangibles. Like you can't really quantify how good you are at reading people, etc. From what you describe it seems like you're very perceptive and detail-oriented. That might be useful in something like usability, or maybe recruiting, if you're actually good at reading people.

Honestly though I'm not very qualified to speak about what MS would want. I don't think that odds are very good though if you don't have a degree, because you might get filtered out at the HR stage (the HR people tend to skim over resumes first to check basic qualifications). But hey, there's no harm in trying. Have you considered going back to school at all?

@Everyone: Thanks for all the support, as usual. <3 I have been thinking about the future UT blogs, and I think maybe I'll break them up into smaller sub-blogs. One labeled "Beginnings" involving a short bit about my upbringing, skimming over high school, what made me decide on Comp Sci, and then my first two semesters, content and generally how things went for me. Expect something sometime later next week if I've got time, because I'm going to put a good bit of effort into this.

Thanks for the tips. I bookmarked the page and only just read it.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

The reason you are feeling bad from this isn't because you are not the best, but because you haven't had enough of these interviews. After 20 of these you will be so relaxed that nothing will faze you even if you don't know the answer. I remember during my first interview I was so nervous I couldn't even speak proper English.

I don't think they expect you to solve all of these problems, but rather able to solve most of them correctly, and offer some serious effort in the ones you don't know how to do. There are probably a handful of people each year that are able to answer all these questions right, but the demand for these people way exceeds supply.
