I’m not sure if I’d say every employer, I have a family friend who works at intel, and has 0 college degrees or college time. Maybe I mis-understood what you said.

You're correct.

I should've worded It as "every employer I've come across".

I'm sure you if you really attempted you could find something..

Agree.

If I'm persistent, there will be an opening at some point. I just need to be lucky to find a firm who looks at my skill set, rather than a piece of paper.
