not really. i hire in IT. most applicants we get are not remotely qualified and have zero real experience. then if you give them a helpdesk position, they get pissed off they aren’t getting paid big bucks and have the senior admin creds their uni degree told them they deserve.

getting a degree in anything doesn’t mean you get senior level pay and creds. but the uni programs like to kids and tell them they will be making 150K to start. They will be making 150K after 10-20 years of working, maybe.
