Reply to comment by thenewtbaron in Pennsylvania latest to eliminate college degree requirements for most state jobs by Created-being
But that sounds like an awful long time being underemployed while you get the "experience". not quite 30 years ago I did some of that in the private sector (I spent maybe a year with the title of "programmer's assistant" while being the principal architect of a decent size system that a multi-billion dollar corporation depended on and could not function without) but very quickly was promoted out of that. For the past 20 years or so, most of my jobs in the private sector have on paper had the requirements of a master's level education and nobody bats an eye at the fact that my highest degree is a high school diploma.

If someone doesn't have a degree, experience or skills... then it really isn't underemployment.
a person getting out of high school with no experience with good benefits and getting paid like 17$/hr isn't under employment
You need one year at that level to be able to apply for supervisor which is about 20$/hr.
you need one year of that to be able to apply for administration officer at about 24$/hr
and you need one year of that to be able to apply for administration officer 2 and make as much as I do.
but good news, even with the "update" you still need years of experience to get into these jobs. Removing college degree requirements do not remove experience requirements
but for IT, let's look at what a generalist's requirements are currently. They start at 55k. three years of general IT experience support, one year at a trainee or technician, one year at IT specific.... plus an associate's degree, one year at help desk one year at ticketing.
So, even with the changes, you would still not be qualified for the job based on what you said. But if someone has an associates, did a couple years of help desky work and one year working at IT directly.... 55k .
