Re: No pay differences for IS workers...
said by pbagrat  :Education is not a replacement for experience, although in today's business world thats what it has become. I do not necessarily agree with it, but if I want to remain competitive I must play the game. I went back to college in January of 2005 to pursue my AAS in CIS through Kaplan. I will graduate this August and continue working towards my BS in CIS at my local university. Why did I do this? The job I've been working at for 6 years is laying people off and I am no longer qualified to work there (no undergraduate degree) despite the fact that I am among the top 10 percent in performance. Want to get a decent job and keep it? You need the degree. Unfortunately this type of situation has become very common. A degree is not and will never be a replacement for experience and common sense. I have seen someone with a HS diploma completely surpass a BS with ease. As pbagrat has stated we must all play the game.
