I’m employed as an engineer, but I’m actually a technician with a title...I’m not “pedigreed” via a 4 year school. More like 20 years of hard knocks in the military.
I find it funny in a way that many employers think or believe that an Engineering Degree is essential for some jobs.
In fact, my discipline requires more analytical and critical thinking skills than anything 4 years of schools could provide.
The problem I see with many of these job postings is that they tend to dismiss or discount actual work experience and skills developled over time vs. a piece of sheepskin.
A bit of elitism as far as I’m concerned...
