I was looking at the Alberta provincial government internal postings today during my lunch break..
There is a glass ceiling for people like me that do not hold a university degree..
There are far fewer openings than at this time last year, but that is not what struck me..
Most of them with greater responsibility than mine require a degree and or professional designation..
These positions are also less likely to terminated in the looming cuts to provincial employees..
Ghost said that a degree is almost a necessity for anything today and she was so right at least when it applies to the civil service..
I do not have a degree myself, but I will make any sacrifice to ensure my children do..
Life is so much easier when you are educated.

honestly.......it is a sad state of affairs out there now....most of these degrees are completely useless and with a good deal of the ones that are meaningful the students have been completely indoctrinated and are beyond redemption anyway.....when i was still in the game i would not under any circumstances hire a BComm, MBA etc etc.....completely untrainable...and forget about the arts, humanities etc..those aren't even real degrees... i wish you luck if you are looking...however, i can't imagine any boss laying you off...... ac_beating
^Yeah, a sad state of affairs indeed. I'm willing to bet very few of these postings require professional degrees. A bachelor of farts in lesbian film studies would suffice, am I right? They are creating an artificial need for useless degrees. If they were like the private sector, they would hire the best person for the job. This means experience and ability, not some meaningless piece of paper. No wonder the Alberta government is in financial trouble. They don't even know how to hire the best talent.

That still does not change the reality that a university degree is mandatory for many positions within the Alberta civil service..
It is also the best defense against the cuts to the civil service that are coming..
It is likely the same in other provinces and the federal civil service as well.

Of course it's the same in other jurisdictions. Government does not know how to hire the best, nor utilize the talent within their own ranks. They do not understand market based compensation either. Governments across Canada are not very good at maximizing the efficiency of their employees.
I feel sorry for Fashionista's plight. Though she did bring this on herself. By staying away from political activism she has enabled special deals for big corporations that do not see free education as a right. Her apath is why higher education is a privilege of 1 percenters.

Renee is another one that shills for big corporations, toxic polluters and Islamophobes. Some of us care about equality when it comes to access to education. Fashionista is getting her just desserts for a lifetime of blindly following the greedy, corporatist line that our failed capitalist system has spoon fed her.

Yep, I don't think Fash needs to worry about this clown pushing her out of a job. Even the snivel service's standards are higher than that.
I cannot be a supervisor in my department without a degree even though I have done her job while she was on annual vacation..
My husband has decided to do residential wiring on weekends..
Depending on what cutbacks are in the budget for civil servants, I may look for a part time job too..
I hope I don't have to look for a full time one.

It is tough on the conventional side. About 2/3 of the the fleet of rigs in Canada are not working right now. This is peak winter drilling season for fuck sakes. It has been a blow to Southern Saskatchewan towns like Estevan and Weyburn. We're muddling our way through on the heavy side. We're not as susceptible to temporary price fluctuations up or down.
It will pick up again on the conventional side. It always does.

Have you ever considered going to school, Fash? A lot of accredited universities and colleges have very good online programs where you could earn a BS in Business Admin. It will take time depending how much prior schooling you have but in the end it can only be a plus for your career.

I have looked into earning a degree in a non traditional method..
I should have did that more than a decade ago..

I could imagine it is. I know you are probably tired of hearing it, but it WILL rebound. The best way to get good prices for crude is to have low prices for a while. Fewer drilling rigs working means lower production and it will eventually mean supply is not keeping up with demand. It works in reverse too when prices are unsustainably high. We conserve more and push down demand.

Phoenix Online and CTU are the ones that come to mind. Both accredited schools.
But I'm almost certain that a Canadian Uni will be more cost effective. Paying US tuition rates is like being disemboweled with a wooden spoon. ac_wot

Especailly right now with the shitty exchange rate(for us). Phoenix is like the Escalade of online unis.
Bottom line, is there are so many options nowadays for non-traditional learning. If a degree is a necessity for her, gitter done I say.

2015 college graduates face best job market in years
The job market has been steadily improving over the past few years and is now better than it's been since the Great Recession for young college-educated entrants into the workforce. This is evident in the internship- and job-search situation today's college students face:
• Hiring of college graduates this year (2014-15) will be up by 16 percent over last year. The leading sectors are: information services (up 51 percent), finance and insurance (31 percent), business and scientific services (24 percent), government (24 percent), manufacturing (17 percent) and nonprofits (16 percent), according to a survey by Michigan State University.
• More than half of employers are offering signing bonuses for new college-graduate hires, the highest percentage in five years, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
• Engineering graduates will earn the highest average starting salary among all graduates in 2015, at $63,000 (petroleum engineers top out among engineering bachelor's degree recipients, at $80,600). The lowest-paid BA recipients, in humanities, will average $45,000 to start (NACE).
