[AccessD] OT:Building your business was... Rate for firsttim e

What we look for in contractors is experience doing the type of work we
want done.  If your resume says you have worked on similar projects
using similar tools, you get an interview.  Otherwise you go into the
circular file no matter how many degrees you have.

What we look for in employees is both past work experience and potential
to grow.  So degrees do count there.

I make good money as a "pure" Access developer, and I don't have
anything but experience as my credentials.  I've found that have a solid
decade or more of database experience and years of being employed as an
Access developer, not just being able to talk the talk, has served me in
good stead.  I bring that to the table and we never even discuss
academic qualifications.  Any business that feels they have to pay more
for a degree isn't worth working for.
