[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 982745, member: 22880"] As a further note, I knew some Express managers who didn't have their degree. They were hampered by not having the "holistic" training that a 4-year program provides, so they were inevitably in over their heads when it came to the tasks of managing their portion of the operation. In addition, once someone is accepted into Express management without a degree, very rarely do they have the time or inclination to go through the process of getting a 4-year degree - especially if they are married with kids. It is virtually impossible to balance the requirements of the job with going to any school with the exception of the for profit "universities". A 4-year degree is a requirement for any white collar position now, so much so that it is taken for granted by employers that qualified applicants will possess one. Right now the problem is that there are so many qualified applicants applying for every job opening, that employers are looking at something past a 4-year degree to make a hiring decision. In many cases, they are looking for professional post-graduate education to make a hiring decision. If you are looking to get out of Express, don't get trapped into accepting a management position WITHOUT first having a 4-year degree completed. If you do so, your ability to exit Express on terms you'd accept will be virtually nil. I honestly think Express sees this as a plus for them (bringing people into management who DO NOT possess a degree) - they know their options to leave are nil - and therefore they are more easily controlled by Express.
