Yes, but I busted my ass from the very bottom rung of the corporate ladder proving myself invaluble over the coarse of years to get this role.

@Starcrossed and you did that without a degree

@Monalisaa1986 yes, I lucked out and landed a role in 2008 that was updated to require a degree by 2010. I wouldn't have even been allowed to interview for it had I applied 2010-2021 when they changed the role again to a different job family which had different requirements allowing for years of service to equate to a degree.

I campainged hard agaist HR's exclusionary degree policy and my case along with several other long term colleagues helped change the company's discriminatory policy to be more inclusive to people who didn't take a traditional 4 yr degreed path.
