I agree with you Rick but then when I joined up we had the mechs and the techs. We have to get the right person for the job and not just cut people off because of the degree stigma.
I have to add that I am going for the degree not that it will make me any better at my job, just my own personnel gain and maybe progression!!!!
Experience is what you need and if not in this field at least something similar as you will soon pick it up.
Remember there is those that can and those that theoris.
