The flip side of this is that, by not getting a degree, you're cutting yourself off from working for a lot of places that may (aside from having a lame HR department) be really good places to work. Hiring managers (who are otherwise good people) often think of a degree as a filter, too - "Sure", they'll say, "you'll run into folks without degrees who really know their stuff, and we may be cutting off some good employees who don't have degrees. But do we really want to hire such folks? Think of it as a bullshit filter." I don't think it's really fair to say that the answer is this clear cut - getting a degree brings with it a whole slew of positives and negatives, and turning such a complex and personal issue into a simple "bullshit filter" isn't really doing the issue (or the job / degree seeker) justice. -Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
