mauiBobTrace, Wow! You hit the nail on the head. I give you the badge for best comment of the month! Just be careful that you don’t extend too far. Someone with only a BLA doesn’t mean they don’t possess visionary thinking like the MLA and a person with a MLA doesn’t mean they’re not technically proficient either. Everybody is different and you should never judge someone based solely on their degree alone. I have always hated the firm, Design Workshop for falling into this elitist attitude with having employees an MLA. I’ve interviewed with them on 2 separate occasions, got to the final stage and was passed over for someone with an MLA. Yes, they do prefer it. Or at least they did several years ago. I still have proof from one of my thank you/rejection letter.
Remember, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg never graduated from college! Yes, I know…but technically no degree.
