I have a friend from Scotland that has a degree. But instead classes he was able to get his experience and knowledge "on the job." Kind of like what the degree mills profess to do...

I'm in the same boat as you but already in the private sector. I've got what they call a set of golden handcuffs. I can't go anywhere else and get a job at the level I'm at or the pay that I make due to my degree situation. This in spite of the fact that among my peers I'm in the 99th percentile. (Sorry studying for principles of statistics)

It's the same old story though. I try and encourage everyone to do what I'm doing. The common answer that I get is "nah, I'd be XX old by the time I got a degree." I tell them that birthday is coming anyway...
