[quote=Anonymous]Degree creep is hitting me as well. All the new management jobs for my government agency require a masters degrees (it almost does not matter what type). Meanwhile most of my superiors do not have masters degrees. So with 14 years experience, and years of consistent excellent performance reviews, I cannot even apply for a management position. Well I can apply, but my agency is communicating in its posting that if I do not have a masters, do not bother applying. I have no problems with people waiving years of experience for MS degrees in terms of qualifications. But to completely shut out those who do not have one, for a job that is not specialized enough for it to be necessary, to me is pretty unfair. So now, at 36 with a family of 3, a mortgage and other financial credentials that I have worked for (CFA, etc.), I need to stop my life and drop $150-200k for business school?[/quote]
