LPT: Get a real skill. No one tries that nonsense when you have headhunters beating a path to your door.
Small problem with that. People with real skills are in huge demand, which actually translates to you having a lot of competition. I work in IT, a Linux guy, and recruiters are trying to get in my pants almost every day. Then they don't hire me, presumably because some other prick had a better fluffed up resume.
I am in the boat where I have an associates degree and 5 years of experience. I am beating the pants off of IT in the surrounding towns. No one gives a fuck because I don't have a bachelors and 10+ years of experience.
That is true, i can barely keep my calendar straight from all the calls and follow ups
