I currently lead a double life. Stepping down from my office job and slowly but surely becoming a field botanist.
In the admin world, a degree will get you an interview at the very least. Now in my other life, where I do contractual work with Melb Water, Parks Vic, DPI etc; we cringe when we get a uni student coming through. All book smarts and no actual hands on skills so we have to babysit them for a bit. The TAFE kids on the other hand tend to get the job done. What I'm trying to say is that it depends on the profession
