- Just to quickly jump into the fray... when I was working in the MIS
- organization at HP that supported their Technical Center, there was a
- guy their named Mark C. Mark knew the in's and out's of MPE 3000.
- He was well respected and generally a nice guy.
-
- Mark had *no* college degree.
-
- I've done some recruiting for SGI and *we* do look if someone has a
- degree but that's more of a rough "cut" if you will. If someone were
- to come in with real high credentials and no degree I'm sure that
- we'd still consider that person. (I shouldn't say that that was SGI
- policy but rather how "I" did recruiting).
-
- And *yes* I do have a college degree: BSCS -- but so what? It
- doesn't make me better than others ...
