- This topic is getting a little old, respectfully. What I am hearing is
- that skilled workers don't need a four year degree. Seems like the next
- blue collar class to me. My 80 year old grmandfather told me he never
- appreciated his liberal arts degree until he retired. So why do employers
- look for a degree? I think its that the probability is higher in finding
- someone who can code, communicate, and exhibit some past creative thinking
- process.

- Sounds like a lot of programmers focused on one thing along time ago and
- need to say, hey, look at me. I think these people should be proud of
- what they have accomplished but realize they are in a minority, at least
- from HR's perspective. Would you want your children to take the same
- path?
