Engineer Analyst Roman Army 208 I helped analyze Hadrian's Wall under the direct supervision of Emperor Septimius Severus. Due to my work, we breached the wall and won victory of the Caledonians.

After 10 years of professional experience on my CV and a pretty good connection list I don't miss a degree. Much like you I left school to start working, much because I felt I was wasting time there. Also like you I felt that I learned a lot more at work than at school so it was a good decision. I still think that 3 to 5 years is too much time just to get a piece of paper. It's good to have one but I think the best choice is to take it after work as a complement to your professional experience.
