I agree with andrewtn.. I don't have a degree but have been in 6 figures since 1998, starting 2 years after my military service all without a degree.
My reason for getting a degree has nothing to do with elevating me necessarily, but instead just ensuring it doesn't eliminate me from future jobs.
And I can't figure out why your even on this forum. You come in these threads and just do nothing but throw hatred and act like your some big shot. Clep your 6 credits and move on.
You even tried hijacking my thread with your opinion on IT certs, which I didn't ask for, I asked if certs would apply to prior learning assessments.
So admins forgive my sins.
But while your all warm an cozy with $70k a year and "good benefits", put this in your pipe an smoke it. I get a check for $7k every 2 weeks as my base salary($6965.23 to be exact). I make in 20 weeks what takes you a year, then add on my $18K a quarter in MBO's, $15K a year in stock, $3K a month expense account, 30 days paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, 5 sick days and a ZERO deductible health insurance plan for the whole family, plus I have $1M in life insurance. Lets not talk about my 401ks and stocks I have, people would come hunt me down. Then I have consulted to the fortune 100 and the US largest agencies on everything from laptops to high performance computing platforms, and "big data" systems. And in the last 5 years, I have stood up many so called fully automated "cloud" environments, I am even sick of the word cloud. I am not even as close as you, to a degree, but I have done so much beyond your 10 year "accredited college" job thats its a joke. So please save your comments of how knowledgeable in IT you are and take your grammatical corrections elsewhere.
We are on this forum to be helpful to each other, give encouragement, and just be kind to fellow humans in this crazy world, where to some who are not as fortunate as you or I, that a bachelor degree does indeed make a difference.
