What pissed me off is despite it's name, San Jose is a regional airport! Having learnt my skills at one of the busiest and challenging airports in the world, I've no doubt I'd be an asset to SJC. I certainly don't think I have some god given right to this job, but it is a technical role that required 12 months of training in. London. It just smacks a bit to be discounted even for interview just because I didn't do some daft aviation degree. Having done the job for 7 years, I don't see how a degree can trump experience.
Just having a rant here LOL. Just a bit pissed off. I do have an ok job so it could be far worse. Just would be nice to be able to see a path to getting back to either doing what I was doing, or at least earning something close to what I was earning.

By the way, can you multi quote here rather than having to keep copying and pasting?

Anyway, relative of mine transferred to the US on L-1, had no qualifications (had worked his way up) and was (in fact is, because he had to go back to it) basically trapped in that job. No-one would (will) look at him without an MBA.
The whole thing is absurd because he has one of those stupid vice-president of being awesome titles and manages a large staff spread out across the US and still he can't get a job somewhere else in the US. Gets lots of offers from Europe.

Thinking about it, don't a lot of people just lie, I mean there's a TV show on called Suits where that is the main plotline. I remember my relative saying to me he's thought about lying in the past so he can just get past some idiot in the HR dept. Not that I recommend lying of course, but I bet you'd find a lot of people have.

Touchy, aren't we?
I was merely reporting a fact, and a spot of research has revealed that there are actually two British universities that do it, as well as Dublin in Ireland.
