I had to start from scratch. I am still pissed about that. Even though I have DONE 99% of the jobs i apply for, I get the interviews and always go to the final cut only to lose to some young kid with a fresh mint BA...I have suspected that I always get the interview to satisfy EOE requirements of "equivilant experience". So I basically get used throughout the interview with the employer knowing i am wasting my time and vacation pay(or worse taking unpaid time for the interview)
I am getting old (i will be 38 in a month) and have lately been questioning my commitments to getting the BA...since i will be nearly 45 befiore i get it(i go only at night and pay for each class now instead of taking student loans, so i am limited to budget my classes). Realistically I feel like my window of oppurtunity is closing on me. I always wanted to work for a OEM

What do you want to do at an OEM? I worked at three of them without a degree.
