One turkey asked me how to handle their lack of a degree?

Start a “University of Hard Knocks” alumni society for everyone you meet who is not degreed. Exchange how to overcome the perceived problem. You get the idea? It’s about connecting and turning what is perceived as a liability into a strength. Gates didn’t get a degree. He should be your “patron saint”. I used to tell AT&T-ers and USAF-ers to keep a careful list of all the classes they attended. I knew one fellow who used it to get advanced placement at a regular college. My special twist on it was to keep a brag book with certificates, papers, or “stuff” from the course. People are always impressed with “evidence”. With the recent trend to buy a degree, you may need that proof.
