Engineering

As an Engineer, what has been better for your career advancement/resume building?

A degree from a University

or

Time spent on the job getting experience?

I lack a degree, but spent some time working as an Engineer in semiconductors. It looks great on the resume, but wanting to gauge how valuable it is by itself.

I don’t have a degree in engineering so everything I’ve learned has been through hobbies or work.

This is where I am at. And a big part of why I ask: Does the degree give some depth to the experience on paper.

Probably not in my experience. I’ve also managed people that have masters degrees in engineering and I sometimes wonder what they’re teaching them.

I have actually seen things like this too. Perhaps it is really an individual experience with some similarities between ppl.

I think July answered best. Depends on the type of engineering mostly, and depends on who’s hiring.
