Hi Shawn

I've hired, oh, probably about 30 people in my time. In general, the content of the degree is easily substituted for relevant experience. What a degree does for me is provide good evidence that someone has the drive and intellect to apply themselves to multiple tasks, for a sustained period, to achieve a goal. That's priceless.

Stick with it, you really won't regret it.

Cheers
