Do not feel bad...I am a professional in a high profile banking field....and 56 yrs old to boot. I am just now trying to finish my degree. Experience and knowledge have taken me through just fine ...up until now. I was recently hired for a new..even higher profile position. Unfortunately the "lack of degeree" put a snag in the whole process and I am once again trying to "finish the degree process". While no one doubts my expertise...the degree is still an important piece of paper. If nothing else..it shows your determination, especially if you are already well established in the work place. My advice...if at all possible...go for the degree.
