Just because a college degree isn't required for a position, it doesn't mean you could get the position without a degree. Huge difference between those two situations. I'm not saying one is realistically needed to get this position, but don't misinterpret the degree required for needing a degree.
That was going to be my exact response.
The way things have gone the last few years (bucketloads of college-graduates dumped into the floundering job economy), even the jobs without an explicit degree requirement likely have one implicitly because they can.
Don't believe for a second that you would have gotten the interview as easily or quickly as you did without your degree.
I suggested that to him months ago, when he was GlitteringPrizes. I got a one word reply.
"No"
After having read more of his posts (as GP, KnowerOfThings, AStalkingButler, CodeViolationMcEnroe, floppage, et al) in the intervening months, I now understand why that's not a viable option.
I am relatively new here and I agree that he is trolling.
Like I said, he is doomed to a life of failure, misery, and hopelessness.

Do you understand how changing user names and posting similar threads time and time again could be looked down upon? What are you trying to get out of this?
You are complaining about a situation you made and can change, but you just come up with excuse after excuse. What is the point?

For one thing, this could serve as a warning to college students or prospective college students who aren't quite sure what they want to do. My advice to them would be to drop out of college or put a hold on it, figure out what they want to do for a career, draw up a plan of how to get there, then re-enroll and go forth with their plan.

So common sense. Thanks for that. You only need one user name and one post to get that across.
That's a great degree if you plan on completing college.
Not sure what you're talking about. As I mentioned twice already, I completed college 10 months ago.
