How many of you have a college degree relevant to your field of work? How many have a college degree, but it is for some other major outside the technical world? And, how many (like me) have gained the position you are in through self-training andon the job opportunities?
I am wondering how difficult it is out there to get into a position without a degree . . . I have worked at my company for 22 years and all of my opportunities have come from within this organization – so I don’t really have an experience with a job search while lacking a formal college education.
I don’t have any intention of changing employers, but I would be interested to hear folks’ experiences and opinions on the subject of whether a degree is important, andwhether the lack of a degree has created roadblocks in your job search.
Thanks!
