As someone who worked in the EU before, I was never asked to prove I had a degree or an honours degree. Have you been asked to prove it, or are you just being honest?
- paganel 15y ago> or are you just being honest? I hope I'm being honest, why would I lie? Anyway, said company had a contract with a European Union Agency, and, as mentioned, said Agency was putting a major emphasis (as in more points awarded as part of the tender process) on sub-contractors that had only CS-graduates as programmers. And the "tax-deductions for companies hiring CS-graduates part" I'll admit, it's not an EU-wide, EU-mandated policy (hence my mention that the tax was collected by my country's Government), but my suspicion is that my country is not the only one adopting this particular tax treatment. I think the people that came up with this policy thought that this would somehow create an IT bonanza. It might achieve that, who knows? But you'll have to admit it has some perverse effects, such as non-graduates like myself being at a disadvantage compared to degree-holding programmers.
