Eh, I don’t know, I don’t know.
I’m middle aged and lost my good old long time job last year.
Now I seemingly cannot get another one of similar worth.
I do not have a degree and it seems that is really hurting me.
I had very good intellectual reasons for not getting one, like hello 30 years ago.
I’ve got over 20 years of solid on-the-job experience and right now I’m grateful to be doing what is essentially clerical work.
So I see this stuff and I’m not sure I agree.
Every serious, vocational aspirant should get a college-level degree in something; otherwise, expect to be handicapped indefinitely. While there are exceptions, the cost of being the exception is significant.
