> People look at that? I'm nowhere close to 10 years and people already don't care. It was only relevant for my first job out of college. This was my experience as well. A lot of places that previously had a hard requirement for a degree will now say “4 year degree or equivalent experience in the field.” For most jobs, the degree is not required but acts as a convenient filter for the company to narrow their candidate pool. They are starting to realize that it’s no longer a reliable indicator of job success. In my experience, that requirement seems to have be added by HR whether the hiring manager wanted it or not. Most of the jobs I’ve held “required” a 4-year degree but they were either fine with the “some college” I actually had or explicitly told me they didn’t care.
