Re^4: how hard is it to find a job without a degree?

Thank you LanX

Is this a field survey for the YAPC::EU talk about the Perl job market?

Yes, a field survey or sorts, but not for any kind of talk.

I also appreciate your response here

I have read and referenced How (Not) To Ask A Question many times, but this is not XY Problem, I am not the focus, I am not trying to get debugged...

Is the question confusing somehow?

Yes its a little broad and vague ... but if I asked it at a perlmongers meeting over drinks, I think I might get a short anecdote "yeah, my cousin just ..."

Thank you

If you're going to a PerlMongers meeting, or a job interview, introduce yourself first. Is the question confusing somehow? No, just lazy, and people are probably being careful not to waste too much time on it.	[reply]

Except you're posting anonymously on the Internet. If you're going to a PerlMongers meeting, or a job interview, introduce yourself first. isn't that what the internet is for? Would it have helped if I signed up for an account, and posted as "someguy1234" or "robert1234"? Would that make me less anonymous? No, just lazy, and people are probably being careful not to waste too much time on it. Ok, so my question is lazy ... a lot of questions are, so why waste any time at all on my question? I'm not trying to take advantage somehow, I'm not playing some kind of trick; Its not like I asked for full working code, a novel, a job ... Just maybe an encouraging story if you have one, a glimmer of hope ... the world could use a few more perl programmers right? Thanks just the same	[reply]
