Having gone the corporation route there are jobs that I don't go for because I don't have the desired degrees and without the degrees the job req. ask for twice as much experience without it.

I've held off and have done well for it, often the job I wanted wasn't what it looked like and better opportunities came along with networking and aiming at the jobs I knew were great fits.

Those I've spoken to have described Wash U in St Louis as mainly international students and a big group of bitter Boeing employees who don't get 100% of it paid for anymore like previous employees did. My company offers less than the cost of a single class for the entire year since there was no correlation with loyalty.

I'm still torn though, always feels like the grass is greener on the other side.
