I think one of the key's to this statement is "in the room". How many companies, especially medium and large ones, have HR processes that allow non-degree holders past the first selection round? Can't get te job unless you get to the interview. I'm lucky. I got a 4 year B.A. CS and had a series of job early on that well-prepared me for advancement in IT. I've seen good smart folks who can't get past a certain level because they lack a four year degree and no matter how much experience they gain, hiring processes weed them. --[Lance] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
