# *high-fives*
the slight problem here is, I'm on my own, and outnumbered by marketing types, so I have to do what I'm told, and it's a bugger to get new and interesting design stuff in... Still, I'm chipping away at their rock-like exterior... :D

# Yeah, I know how it goes
But I only do this for two days a week.
For the rest, I'm my own company ;)

# I don't know if the degree thing matters, it just said it on the email I had.....

# I can't do the more technically bits, no.
Afraid not. If I'd have known EVERYONE needed IT qualifications in this day and age (or so it seems) I'd have given it more thought than I did.

# This 'degree' business fucks me off
I've got a degree, not ind esign, but I've got nearly seven years design experience in AN ACTUAL BUSINESS but I get passed over for better looking, cheaper kids with design degrees

# I got passed up for a project management role
because the 20 year old I was up against had a degree in fine art.

Yep.
