I have tons of certificates(FF/EMT, CIHM, CSM, STS, SPS, OSHA 10-30 Trainer…) and three solid years towards a bachelors degree, but everywhere I apply reference having a BS/BA degree. In contrast my manager has zero HSE knowledge and got the job because he is somebodies friend. I was working overseas for the Gov't and wanted more home time so I took a substantial pay cut to come back and be with my family (like 50k+). So besides getting low-ball pay as far as industry wide, I really feel my bosses don't give a damn about my opinion.
My current employer offers decent education assistance and I have found a program that is accomplishable in 1.5 years, but is it worth it?
So if you represent a HR Dept. or are a hiring manager let me know.
Thanks
It is worth it, and if you want to succeed in the long run you will need profession accreditation. I am in charge of the state authority for OHS, and the time is drawing to a close where unqualified people like your boss will be allowed to hold positions of authority in OSHA…
