Degrees

[Katav <katav -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

Just curious: I watch the lists and the Help Wanted posts. Of late,
almost all have ''reqiored'' a degree in something -- most often
English or Journalism, but always a degree.

I know a lot of subscribers to the list never bothered to get a
degree. I curious to know

(a) if those posting the job offers REALLY require a degree or simply
would like the candidate to HAVE a degree

(b) if there is any value to a ''termainal degree'' issued some 30
years ago (lem'me tell you about by  degree BA from '64 -- 1964, that
is)

I am NOT looking for tirades about why a degree is/not necessary to be
a >>good<< (tech) writer. I want to know what are the ''absolutes''
where you work ... is the degree position yours, the company's, the
CEO's whim?  Please respond to   katav -at- yahoo -dot- com   and I will tally
the results
===========================
                        No requirement
                        Bachelors
                        Bachelors + experience
                        Masters
                        Masters + experience
   Policy maker --      (select 1 of above)
   (you, CEO, etc.)
