holachem, trust me, half of this wazua board knows me and have met me. They will agree with everything you have to say in your statement. eisshhh.

And now I'm going to kindly ask wazua admins to shut down this thread.

It has achieved its purpose. Now it is about to become a flaming thread.

So wazua admin, can you please close it? I'm begging as I'm very hurt and crying right now.

I had an inflammed appendix nimecheka hadi nimepona@Alma you remind of the Castro guy in a movie called b][/b]Demoted...

I hope the potential interns take you seriously.

Immediately after my Under Grad, I got a job with a company that will remain nameless. Two of us in our department had degrees and our immediate boss was a diploma holder [We didn't know at the beginning and frankly we didn't care]. This fellow hated degree holders with a passion. He used to tell us how degree holders are inferior to diploma holders, how most companies prefer to employ diploma holders; Degree holders learn a lot of "useless theory"; Diploma holders are more practical bla bla bla. He then took a diploma holder [who was totally clueless] employed at the same time as us to be his right hand man!

We never knew why he was so anti-graduates. It was all laid bare by the director in a meeting he had with our department. We had been agitating for a pay increase though we had been given one the previous year [ ]. The director called a meeting to explain why we cannot get another significant raise so soon. He told us "If you want another significant raise, then you must study. Come to me with a certificate you didn't have when we were employing you and we can talk." Then he looked directly at our boss and said "Like you Mr. xxx, you have a diploma, yes? You can enroll for a degree. They have started offering those on part time and distant learning. No?". You know the phrase "You could have heard a pin drop"? You could actually have heard one drop! The fellow never dissed degree holders anymore!

Unprofessional of the director? Maybe. But I suspect he did it on purpose - may be he got wind of the fellow's behaviour.

@alma...what do you use to carry your ego?? just a concern!!!

When you filled JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Boston consulting to name a few, application they ask you about your scores in college entry exams and if you graduated in top 10% of your highschool? you think because they think your highschool grades will help you do the job? No! because they want to make sure you've a track record of success.

Alot of Harvard history, political science, physicology degree holders work in investment banking, why is that? because the employer knows that if they can get to these schools they can be taught to do anything, I mean they are teacheable. Alot of Engineering graduates work as investemnt bankers why? because they tend to be smart and therefore can easly learn.

Yes degree don't matter when you have it because you're suppose to have it. It matters when you don't have it! Alma, I was getting paid $5600 a month as an intern and I wasn't the highest paid intern, so I don't know what companies you've been intouch with!
