You still need to connect those centers together, and every small town and suburbs in between. Fiber is not free. That is still not an excuse for poor service, but it does add to the cost.
It really saddens me to hear stories like this. I have never worked for big corporations with a dedicated HR department. So far I won two awards with my non-diploma, but I am in marketing...
Do not be so dark about the "eventual" coming collapse of the US. If you have skills you can get your way.
If you are still in alaska, we may meet someday while I am vacationing and we wont know who we are;-)
No hard feelings, the world is big and diverse.
And for the record, I am not saying paper is worthless, only other ways are possible. The OP has a lot of experience already that should compensate for lack of paper AND attract attention. The fact many people around here are saying the contrary is deeply disturbing me.
As I said, in MY experience, it did not make much difference I got recruited while in college. Obviously the mileage may vary depending on your field/area/company. That is why slashdot is so great, it attracts people from all over to share their piece of humanity.
Obviously you have invested a lot in your education and I respect that a lot. If you ever visit Quebec, I hope we can share a beer.
In my experience, I have to disagree. If you got the skills (technical AND interpersonal) you will get ahead no matter what, except maybe (not in my experience) in the big corporation where you are just a number anyway. So it may matters (my experience is somewhat limited and humanity is larger than what I could experience) if you want to be a number...

Have you seen THX1138?
I left a few out, but this spans over 15 years... and lots of coming back to windows up until 4 years ago.
redhat -> slackware -> debian -> ubuntu -> mint (with a salt of BSD and OpenSolaris from time to time)

Did you factor in population density?
You mean like this?
Thank you very much.

Do you know of it's the valve doing the work alone or do you need brand new tyres to get it to work?

Excuse my french, but what does SAM means?
Best advice I have read so far. Get your degree, then let loose the activist in you.
I have to agree here. Specialisation is for insects!

Sadly, that is true... most people barely use facebook and youtube. An efficient google search is too mush for them...
Sorry if I sounded harsh, but you must build your self confidence. A paper is not going to make a difference, your skills are...
We learned Claris Works... get the credits and get over it. Your experience is much more valuable than a cheap course, use it.
LOL ;-) I hope this get modded down but I wanted you to know I appreciated your reply.
Wow, Magic Johnson must pay a LOT of taxes to cover for medicare alone!
