I’m applying for sysadmin type jobs and feel a lack of degree is holding me back. Should I simply lie? Can’t see most employers actually checking on a degree I would have earned 30+ years ago.

    I’ve already been in the industry, but it’s really not feasible at this time to get decent jobs without degrees I feel… The competition has really increased in the last few years and with AI putting pressure on everyone it’s only gotten worse. I’m pivoting to a field that’s not susceptible to idiots replacing me with a bad machine.

      This makes me worry about being terminated. My previous job searches have been successful so is it just the industry is terrible now? Last job search was 3 years ago.

      I have projects and certs on my resume
