Default overqualified for work you do?

I noticed some of my friends have BS and MS degrees but work at jobs that someone without degree can do. Do you feel overqualified working where you do?

Is this question for the 5 people on HAN who can afford to go to school or is it open to everyone?

on paper, i am "overqualified" as technically a degree is not "required".... but its one of those things that are highly recommended. and by highly recommended meaning pretty much cant get in without a bs/ba degree. but as far as skills and work responsibilities itself, i dont feel overqualified. if anything, im still learning things and how things are run around here.

yeah, same..except degree is required to work here, but other companies, a degree might not necessarily be required.

The only way you get good in my world is through experience. Seeing as how I only have 2 years of it, I'd say no.

overqualifed? no. can I run program, meet organizational and grant goals...easily. however, personal expectations and goals have me working my butt off and always trying to achieve more.
