I would take someone who can do the job before another w/ a piece of paper that says so. Worked w/ a lot of idiots who where ASE Certified on things called Reduction Task Forces. I have a high school education w/ some Vocational Education thrown in. If I'm so dumb because I don't have a piece of paper why was I called to these meetings?
Come to find out I stopped by this guys office I knew, under his name said "Head Of Reliability". People say the world survives on paperwork, we also WIPE w/ paperwork.
