Could micro-credentials compete with traditional degrees? https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200212-could-micro-credentials-compete-with-traditional-degrees
"Compete" in what sense? That you can do just as poorly trying to get your resume past robots with "micro-credentials" as you can with a "traditional degree"?
I do not have a traditional degree π±
Yes I'm a 57 caucasian non degree democrat who hates to be considered a trump demographic.
I left college after 1 year because I wasn't doing enough fast enough (bored..yes significant adhd)
So I joined navy, learned some tech
Got out in 86 right when PC's were becoming business machines and latched on to "networking" as a promising technology and learned/grew with technology
I am also the only income for my family of 4 plus mom, cat, dog etc.
So. I do pretty well for no degree
Experience matters

This is not the job-hunting experience most people seem to be encountering, particularly at that age.
