- While I do not argue that a degree is telling in a number of areas, there
- are some *excuses* reasons for NOT having a degree in the area you are
- seeking a position in. For example, I am NOT seeking a degree in any
- CS area. Why? I already have a BS, MS + 40 towards a Phd in another
- area. An Associates degree or BS in CS does absolutely nothing for me but
- waste my time and money. However, I am taking "CS" classes. The fact
- that I will not have a CS degree should mean nothing. What does a CS
- degree give me that I do not already have, provided I took the core
- classwork? But, the local U said I could not be granted a degree in
- CS based upon "only" taking the CS classes. Go figure!
