Here's a fact. When a potential employer gets several hundred applications for one job, he/she screens them in some way. There have been times I've thrown all the green, pink, and blue envelopes away, unopened. Why? They were resumes prepared by the schools. They all looked alike except for the person's name. Any outstanding candidates were hidden and would have taken an inordinate amount of time to discover. After that, one screens some more. A person with a degree is likely to get more attention than one without (for the reasons Grumpy mentions), however MORE capable the person without a degree may actually be. Fair? No. Economic requirement and reality? Yes.
