He HAS to hire someone with a degree over someone who doesnt, regardless of their work experience. Although I do not agree that this should happen, I do agree that the US needs educated people. With time, the educated person gains experience... thus becoming more marketable than you. Times are changing, get with them.
Okay Ace. Let's see, hmmm, I am 56 years old, been flying since I was 20. Okay, the educated guys, nothing wrong with that, they will get there. As far as experience, I think it's fair to say I was getting it before most of you were out of college. By the way, I did go to college, just did not graduate. I have, and always will have more "real" world EXPERIENCE than you could even dream of having. So button it and get in YOUR place in the "real" world.
