Sorry, I didn't see your thread earlier.

Most IT services firms aren't that interested in someone with advanced degrees in the field, we're looking for someone with either experience using the technologies we have, or someone new with an analytically-oriented degree of some sort.

That said, there's a smaller number of firms that are in the business of building development tools, databases, etc. and that is where someone with an advanced degree should probably be focusing. Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, etc.

Although we do IT services we're really more about ERP implementations (Peoplesoft, Oracle, etc.) which is a different ballgame.

Thanks for the reply! It really does help. I've told the hubby that no one really cares about advanced degrees anymore, especially in a world where kids know more about computers than most adults. But on top of the degrees he has so much IT experience, mainly in healthcare but also in education. He's very well-rounded and was a "jack of all trades" while at the hospital. The downside is he didn't do IT Business. He wants to do project management or something similar. He just can't even get interviews. Ironically, he did get an interview with Microsoft but had a "dud" (inexperienced) interviewer thus didn't make it to the final selection. His other interview was at LSU (imagine my excitement) but he was 2nd choice...I think b/c he was over qualified for the position and there was a fear of him not staying long term.

Regardless, thanks for the feedback!
