True, but because of the high unemployment rate, companies are not even willing to interview someone without a Bachelors. They get hundreds of applicants when they post a job and that is a easy way to cut that in half regardless of real world experience. I have several buddies with near 20 years experience that are in this same boat and layed off. One even has 2 associate degrees and over 20 years of real life IT experience. He specializes in Citrix. He cannot even get past the online application process at most companies because he does not have a Bachelors degree. Of course he applied for a desktop support job just to pay the bills and was told he is over qualified. Well no shit!......Companies realize they would prefer experience over a piece of paper, but when you get 500 applicants for a job, they have to have some type of criteria to sift though the applicants.
A college degree now just helps you land a entry level shitty job. You still have to work your way up from there.
