Yeah, not really. Most job listings for this position describe a superman with a list of accomplishments it would take three lifetimes to amass. I manage to get by on the "or equivalent experience" clause (having proof that I have done, and can do, the actual job).

I think my current employer understands that how much I am costing them is directly related to how much I can do for them, as opposed to whether I've got a degree that they can cover their ass with. They're not saving any money by going with me, if that's what you mean.
