@Yaniv: reminds me of my dad's stories. He's 58 or so, and he's pretty much an expert in injection molding, tooling, design, and AutoCAD. A few (~10) years ago, he helped his company open a new plant in Mexico, and was shortly let go (since they now worked in Mexico). When he went to find a job, a lot of the businesses would say "you don't have a Bachelor's" despite his 30+ years of experience in the field, and having owned his own company, etc.
Well, his go-to response was "What good would a 30-year-old Bachelor's be?"
But still, they wanted one.
Moral of the story is, some people are idiots and care more about a stupid piece of paper than the facts.
