Is it possible to 'hide' a degree?

I'm going to have to disagree with you. My employer employs thousands of people with bachelors degrees in psychology, sociology, counseling, etc. Those are the preferred degrees for social services. There are always a lot of job openings in criminal justice and social services looking for those degrees; it's just a matter of whether or not people want to apply.

I had heard that you need a master's for those jobs, at least in my area, but it's possible things have changed over the years.

On the other side of the coin, there seem to be more and more jobs that require a degree - any degree. For example, a friend of mine, who's in her 50's, just STARTED college this year because her job suddenly required a degree. She teaches three year olds, for goodness sake, she has twenty years of experience, and she's great with the kids - and now suddenly she has to learn college level courses... some things just don't make sense.
