That's interesting: how many years of industry experience make up a
undergraduate or graduate degree?

Believe it or not, some people acquire knowledge by reading, working
with the technology, and solving real-world problems. Sort of like
they do in school, only with a more practical focus. Reality TV for
education, only better.

Sure, it happens, but it's pretty rare, IMHO, for people to acquire
deep theoretical knowledge that way. Perhaps Andor's point is that the
two are virtually orthogonal requirements.

the US government seem to think it is 10 years.

It depends on if one has 10 years of real experience or only 1 year of
experience 10 times.

Delete the "years of" and it makes more sense. Then, an interviewer might
ask how did you get that equivalent experience? And, secondarily, how many
years did it take *you* to get that "equivalence".

I was lucky when I workd for the Navy. I was working for an ONR sponsor
on a program that required a bit of theoretical knowledge and at the
same time going to grad school part time. The work and school
dovetailed very nicely. The theory was for lack of a better term,
practical.

I got my B.E.E. when the director of the lab I worked in said, "You're
doing an engineer's work, you ought to get paid like on. Go get a
degree." Two years later, one of the job offers I got was less than what
I had been making when he pushed me out, but the one I took ended me up
as an MTS at RCA Labs. I never got another degree, but I had a couple of
Ph.D.s who worked as my assistant at one time or another. The part I'm
proud of is two of my technicians becoming full-fledged MTSs.

That's a very efficient way of learning, isn't it? I did basically
the same thing. Worked for an oil company, trying to solve a very
practical problem by means of theoretically heavy DSP.

On the plus side, one learns a lot very fast. On the down side,
few other people appear to have similar experiences. So it's
a problem capitalizing on this kind of experience in the long term.
The theoretical people see one's practical experience. The
practitioners see the theoretical side. And the laymen see a
voodoo whitch doctor.

Oh well.

You never know what portion of your resume will get you an interview.

An agency sent my resume out "shotgun style".
The CEO of a small company saw it and *to quote him* just had to meet
someone who could demonstrably claim such a strange academic and work
history. He didn't think I would accept the job. But he did want to meet
me. Looking back, perhaps I should have taken the job, not because it
was so great ( it wasn't ), but to work for someone with that attitude.

Actually, in the video business, it is more common than not, as it was essential for many years, simply because there were no competent engineering programs with a video orientation. There are still very few.
