I suspect that there are jobs out there but they don’t pay what he/she is used to making and probably won’t for a very long time.
I never understood why IT people, many with no degree, made substantially more than mechanical/electrical engineers, chemists, etc. many with advanced degrees. Maybe we’re finally seeing “reversion to the mean” for salaries in IT. [/quote]
I know several brilliant people in IT who have no degree, it’s not that uncommon. In IT, you have to produce, and a degree (even in Computer Science) will not really make a difference one way or another.
You need a specific set of skills in the IT field you’re in, and companies need someone with that specific set of skills and most could give a wit about whether they have a degree or not.
I think that the field itself is just getting hit.
