Haha, after having the same train of thought, I debated just taking the degree off entirely...



I'm about ten years younger and I already start stripping my education off my resume. It's superfluous.

Honestly, when I'm interviewing candidates, the only time I'm interested in their education section is:

- when they are fairly green (interns, juniors) because they don't have much experience yet

- when they keep bringing up "I did this in college" and I need to see how long ago that was to frame the rest of my questions

Anyone with a few years and an accomplished resume should strip their education out unless it's meaningful in some way.
