What are members considered views on degree requirements for contractors ?
The background to this is that, for various reasons, I don't actually have a degree. I actually have an HND (Distinction) in Computer Studies instead. Post-college, I've succeeded in applications development, team leading and business analysis. I am most certainly not a duffer.
I personally don't think that an academic setback twenty or so years ago is that significant. However it is very off-putting when 'a good degree' is mentioned so much in permie job ads and even some contract requirements.
