there was a position for the parent company of Phillip Morris that was for a SP/365 admin that was open for 9 months when I was contacted by a recrruiter and I was told several times "holy shit you're perfect for this job" over and over by several different people
everyone who interviewed me or spoke to me assured me "there is no way you won't recieve this position, your experience is exactly what we need"
and then at the end of all the process I was told by the actual hiring supervisor that they had a company policy of not hiring people without college degrees because "college teaches an important way of thinking critically"
the disappointment was immense and very upsetting
if that's the case find the cheapest easiest way to knock out the rest of your degree from a decent enough school
ok
so
what I said was integrate
the goal is to use the position you are already in to make yourself a living god
Even so in a position that wouldn't be netting me 90k with an excellent 401k and benefits, such as the positions you have open for tier one desktop, I am usually turned down. I present myself well, I am fit, I am well spoken, etc. but I lack a degree. I am unsure of how to move forward.

What's convo's twitter account? @northern_confederate
right, I feel like that's a very vague answer, despite it, I appreciate the advice, please do not take my query for more specification as unappreciation.
bro
not trying to be vague
like for me, my goal was to own my own consultancy
I worked contract after contract
doing netsec shit
I was most interested in physical pentesting
I introduced physical pentesting to them after pushing them for months that I could walk around without being challenged
on an active airport
My director didnt listen
so I went to the CFO
who is German
I told him that I could break into his office, steal his credentials and use them to get into most areas of one of the hangars that is locked down
he liked my arrogance
and I proved myself
you have to take risks
dont be scared to ask for opportunities to do more
and if people are not willing to listen, then go above them
and make sure you can back your ass up
Anyways
moral of the story
My escapades got around
I got job offers by DHS and TSA
I turned them down and used some of my contacts as my first customer base
started moonlighting
after several months, I voluntarily ended my contract 3 days before it expired
and started CTI.SEC
