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.
Fuck that- I had to run away from home at 16- never graduated high school, never graduated college.
I’m a senior software engineer now. Just make sure you can do the work, make sure you can teach yourself anything. Fight and advocate for yourself, not all of us were dealt good cards in life.

No. They will check. I have no degree and got a senior level position with a major company. If you have 30 years of valid experience then that is far more valuable than a degree.

30+years is enough reason for them to check.
