A degree also shows that you have skills in learning, commitment, and higher education--no matter what your field of study. A degree is still better than no degree in the eyes of a future employer---take it from me, I work in Human Resources.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758033543840446585.post-58686923668742627902011-03-12T21:23:37.095-05:002011-03-12T21:23:37.095-05:00It stinks because anyone who has the piece of pape...It stinks because anyone who has the piece of paper is automatically considered qualified even though they don't know jack about the field. <br /><br />I have faith you will find the perfect job/career for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692065924209100610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758033543840446585.post-91939215186954410332011-03-11T20:16:01.487-05:002011-03-11T20:16:01.487-05:00Hmmm... well, one of the things I've learned i...Hmmm... well, one of the things I've learned is that you can often parlay experiences into your field. Without completing your degree I know that presents a barrier. There has to be some way to show your knowledge and expertise in the area from what you're learning. I wish I could be of more help. <br /><br />I've been working in my career for so long and have stuck so closely to that and everything is related. Although I have been able to use skills acquired to "convince" hiring managers that I'm proficient in the field I'm interviewing for. Good luck with this; I'm sure there's a way to do this. What about visiting a couple of employment/career blogs (about.com?) to inquire on how to do this?Petulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246335892746223347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758033543840446585.post-74455251405797037762011-03-11T19:21:40.733-05:002011-03-11T19:21:40.733-05:00That is frustrating, and I agree it makes little s...That is frustrating, and I agree it makes little sense!

It's the fact that you have the piece of paper. <br /><br />I have a cousin that graduated with a degree in history, but he's working in a software company doing sales and tech support.<br /><br />I think for teaching they would want a degree for your related field, but it still doesn't make sense.freakyroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376677334986654375noreply@blogger.com
