I heard back from the company in Japan. They liked my experience but wanted to know if I had ever used Oracle. I never had but could learn without much trouble. The big problem though, they wanted to know if my diploma is equivalent to a Bachelor's degree.
I knew this would come back to haunt me.
My diploma is functionally equivalent to a Bachelor's (as far as I am concerned) but not in some other people's minds. There is a stigma attached to it. Many people feel that it is not as good as a degree for some odd reason. They think I didn't work to earn it. It was bloody hard to get that diploma. The CS course at Algonquin was very difficult. There was a lot of work involved.
I was lucky because I understand computers very well and was able to grasp the concepts and zip through the work without trying too hard. I could zip through my assignments quickly so I never got bogged down. Others were not so fortunate. They had to slog through it all.
It has made it a little hard to find jobs in the past and it may prevent me from getting a work visa for Japan.
