I am in the same situation.  Our CFO came here last week to personally thank
me and my team for all the work we put in for this nasty project we had.
While he was here I told him that I was going after my GSEC and CISSP, and
he started lecturing me basically, that they wouldn't be able to promote me
higher than I already am without a degree, that they wanted to but couldn't.


I am going to have to find a way to make time to go.  I am looking into
strayer now.

Subject: I need a little pick me up

We are having our end of the year reviews. I have a new boss that has
turned out to be real cool. She looked to see what the average income
some one like myself should be making and told her boss that I needed a
big raise. He said that despite the money I have saved the company, tens
of thousands, my streamlining of every ones job, my dedication blah,
blah, blah,...... I wont get one. You know why? My ten years of
experience, college but no degree, and training are not equivalent to a
bachelors degree. :-|

I was hired to write and maintain eight CF web sites for the company.
Now I manage five servers, an email server, twenty plus sites, I'm the
DBA, and a countless number of other jobs I hate to think about. I'm
still getting paid squat. This job has taken the fun out of web
development. I'm ready to walk away from it all. Get a job cooking again
or some thing. At least I know what is expected of a cook.

I feel a little better now.
