    I don’t have a degree. Started one back in the late '00s but didn’t complete it cos life got in the way.

    Successful career in related industry but occasionally I’ll go for a job only to see it has higher ed quals as mandatory. I think I’ll lie next time if there’s something I really want to go for and know I can do.

    I’m old enough that even if I had completed the course, it was all paperbased paperwork - no one’s tracking the truth down and no one really cares. Of all the recruitment I’ve done, I’ve never cared about anyone’s degrees. Hell, half the technologies and methodologies I work with didn’t even exist when I was at uni. So who gives a shit even if I did have the degree.

      Job skills and personality mean way more in hiring decisions than schooling.
