Agree with most of this comment (couldn't read article due to blocking or something). Can confirm the blacklist on no degree. I had one that had like 10 years experience in and perfect fit. When HR found out that he did not finish his degree it was over with no recourse. Also Masters (MBA is different) is useless in most fields unless used to get a visa or something. Usually you are foregoing wages with few additional benefits. Might be slightly easier to get first job. Not sure source of degree matters as long as accredited. Certainly there can be upside like same alma mater but I rarely care but will admit to negative bias to Univ of Phoenix but interview and work history trump everything. Having said that BS or BE have merit if the student actually takes it seriously. I learned a whole lot that I'm not sure I would have learned through self study alone (a least around that time).
