I wanted to post this on your first link, but for some reason it wouldn't let me.

I just read your post, and it's really sad. I know you feel. Especially on the part when you have the example of the two people applying for a job, but only he one with the degree will get the interview.

The other person studied probably much more than the one with the degree, but they simply won't get that interview because they don't have the degree.

It's sad to see how the system is in the world, and that's why I want to do my own thing. I'll try my best to make something happen.
