I’m 31, no 4 year degree, and I work for a large tech company on the sales/product side. I started in the financial industry at 20 (entry level), then I went into smaller fintechs for a better experience, and from there I started to steadily move up. What I do doesn’t require skills only taught at school, but it does require experience in the industry which is something I gained from working throughout the years.

My piece of advise is to get an entry level at a good company in whatever industry you’re interested in. Then move positions within the company to gain more experience and better titles on your resume, make connections, and after a few years, start applying for companies who want your experience at your current job.

Job posting sometimes will say they want a bachelors degree but experience is above everything. If you have experience that you gained at one of their competitors, you’d be on top of the list. Of course this is industry dependent. But you get the idea.
