<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1376453, member: 16269&quot;]I&#039;ve had three careers in my life and I didn&#039;t have a diploma for any of them. I was self-taught in each of the fields and even taught courses at a school for one of them even though I didn&#039;t have a degree. I&#039;ve worked as a researcher in a university and had undergrads working for me in that department. During the stint at the university I was also the head of the photography department for a museum. </p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn&#039;t provide the OP with paper that showed any higher education that would prove my qualifications for any of the careers I&#039;ve had. It was my self-taught expertise that put me into those jobs. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a Chef now and again I&#039;ve never stepped foot in a school for my training. I have 30 staff that work for me and I also have students from a cooking school that come and receive their work credit in my kitchen.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been told that I could do the challenge for the Red Seal Certificate which would give me credentials to work in essentially any restaurant in the world. But, at my age, I&#039;m quite content to be where I am.</p><p><br /></p><p>Formal education is important and I wouldn&#039;t advise anyone to forego it. However, you can&#039;t dismiss life experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
