It’ll take you longer to get an interview than it will to get a college degree. How many years are you willing to give up by hoping you will be the special one that got in without putting forward any effort?

I think that’s correct..............do a degree.

‘Course you could marry a board members daughter, and save all the gossip you hear about certain V. P. ‘s. Em, not me of course. I just heard that.

This.

I spent a few years at my regional before I realized that my only excuse for not having a degree was “well eventually they’ll have to hire me!” False.

They don’t care about you. You have to care about them. It’s the game. Play it.

Haven’t heard lately.

But as recent as 2-ish years ago it was less than 5 hired without. Exclusive of XJT CPP’s.

And one of those hot himself fired

NOT saying the lack of degree had ANYTHING to do with the firing.

Only that to be lucky/fortunate enough to get without it, THEN screw it up.
