Harsh reality: if you're on a work visa, the immigration department doesn't care about whatever degree you have either. It cares about whether you have a job offer/visa sponsor.
Whether a degree or demonstrated proficiency/work experience matters more depends on the employer.

- prostoalex 12y agoYeah, so 4x3=12 years of relevant experience. The subject in question is still looking for first job out of college.
