This is only possible I guess in the ‘west’, if you don’t have a degree here, you won’t get a secretary position, let alone a senior level management position. I am sure there are exceptions here, I guess it depends on the organisation; but working with HR for 4 months I have learnt a thing or two and that basically tells me no degree is an automatic disqualifier. I think Education will always be important.

Ya eh!. In UAE or middle eastern country ya require a degree to get any job. But in west i guess things are different. And because workplaces aren’t only looking for what degree ya completed..but also your personality and skills you have to execute your job. But very interesting indeed.

This is very common nowadays specially in IT related jobs. Smaller companies just look for needed skills in the person and ask for degree only as a formality.

No dude..the company which i am talking about has been around for more 100 years. They have branches in middle east, africa, europe and as well as North America wide. And yo..i am not really into IT field.

I don’t know - but I have reached to a point in my career , when I must go and do my PHD ! so some how you can’t neglect the importance of a degree , even in core tech jobs !

I haven’t negleted my friend..my cirumstances didn’t allow me continue my degree in my early 20s. Had to support my parents and sisters. Coz..my dad was very ill. So now it has been a while since i have started my degree program Allah ka shukr hai. Along with other certification i am doing at the moment..
