29: To Degree Or Not To Degree? Do You Need a Degree for Power BI?

The guys cover somewhat of a contentious topic in the Power BI community and for professionals throughout the industry: How essential is a college degree for a professional to be successful and work in the Power BI platform at an organization? While many of us have learned and developed the technical skills online (Forums, Blogs & Articles, Videos), what did the College experience provide that was a boost to the daily application of Business Intelligence now, and what are companies truly looking for in a candidate?  Get in touch: Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.

Om Podcasten

Hosted by Mike Carlo, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users? Build the toolset, learn the how, and then come to the Podcast to the listen to the why in situations we all experience as Power BI Pros.
