I agree wholeheartedly. Without a degree in English Mediaeval Studies and a Licenciate in Chinese Traditional Acupuncture I wouldn't be the technical chap I am today.
Ok, so it came down to money. Brian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David T. Meeks Sent: 08 September 2004 16:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [OT] [U2] Technical Product Manager opening in Boston (PICK /UniV erse/U2) A quick comment (though I really shouldn't) I've seen a bunch of posts come across defending the abilities of those without degrees, and I have no problem with those. I also agree that having a degree doesn't guarantee success... But, it's almost devolved into a "people with degrees are useless" discussion. Having a degree should NOT be viewed as a negative aspect, but rather, as a very good thing. It's not the ONLY thing, and it can't truly replace experience, but someone who spends 4-8 years of their lives learning all they can about a particular subject should NOT be looked down upon...
