In ST, paper qualification determines how far one can go from the start. There's even differentiation between degree classes. It kind of mirrors the civil service in a way.

Then go get a degree. Period. Point blank.
What's so difficult? All degree holder went thru it
So why diploma feel so entitled that they don't have to go thru the graduation process.
Experience? Everyone can gain experience.
So. Go get the degree and compete.
We are living in a global workforce now. You're not just competing with local degree.
You're competing with China, India, Malaysia, Philippines, USA, Russia, Taiwan...
As the world get smaller due to digital revolution and globalisation.
Its very short sighted for you to claim "experience" is all it takes.
The younger generation already have to compete on so many level.
1) degree in a prestigious uni
2) high starting pay or you're nothing
3) social media presence or you're nothing
4) video editing and if you want passive income or you're nothing
5) tik too presence or you're nothing
6) speak only English? Americans are already branching out and capturing the market of making income from speaking Chinese, Korean, Taiwan, Malaysia. Hell we even have a Japanese on promoting Singapore with more viewers than a Singaporean.
7) investment or you're nothing
So don't come and preach with your victim sad story of "I don't have degree but I have experience"....
Set your goal higher.
