    Good. Nowadays, theres a degree requirement for so many fields that didn’t used to require one. The most competent workers I know, don’t have degrees. All the new people with degrees have no clue what they’re doing, yet they get paid more and are treated better. It’s painful to watch the best performers get passed over, while the people with degrees are held on golden pedestals while they actively drive production into the ground. Especially, when their degree isn’t even for the field they’re presently employeed in.

    While certain jobs should require degrees, there’s a huge amount of positions where practical and hands on experience would (and should) trump a degree, any day.

    Stud move. For many if not most professions, a degree ain’t shit.
