RE: Experience vs College Degree

Mike,

I can't say that I totally disagree with your statement, but I do think the
IBM midrange industry is somewhat insulated from this condition.  I know too
many successful, non-degreed AS400 professionals.  I've worked with many
people with non-tech degrees too. (Acting(Drama), accounting, english-lit,
philosophy, theology...)

A degree never hurts, though... <G>

Perhaps we could dust off the MIDRANGE dot COM survey and get a feel for the
educational background of our membership.
