[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Can I encourage people to include timelines in their responses? For example, a BA in 1995 and a successful career may not be replicable with a BA in the same discipline in 2015. In my department, there are plenty of older employees with just a BA (or an MA obtained on the government dime after many years of work). I don't know of anyone hired within the past few years who doesn't have an MA. I don't have any kind of statistics at hand, just anecdotal observations, but I would say no one who has graduated from undergrad since 2010 has been able to secure full-time employment without an advanced degree in my department. I am positive that if I were to apply for my current job, I wouldn't even make it past the initial computer screening because I can't check the required degree box, let alone actually get in front of an HR or hiring officer.
