Jamaica , mon . Have some RUM , mon ! <| sep |> Can you show a single example ? I ' m genuinely interested if that ' s the case <| sep |> Most IT jobs do not require a degree to enter , Hardware design and Data Analysis roles and even those I have seen people with the right experience transition in to . This is because in IT what you can do and what experience you have is generally the biggest factor in your career . Source I ' m in a relatively senior InfrastructureDatabase role and work with developers and operations staff every day both with and without degrees . If you ' re a white collar professional and can pick up some data analysis skills and maybe some SQL knowledge you will have a huge leg up in the future as those are going to become increasingly important as automation improves .
