So, despite being an entrepreneur, and having founded several successful and sustainable businesses, I’m one of your “unskilled migrants”. Sure, I’ve been coding since I could walk, I have current and expert systems and web technology knowledge - but I have a bachelors. In physics. Not useful at all, and puts me on the same rung as a golf course management graduate - actually, below, as they have a shortage skill.
One of the hurdles I am repeatedly failing at with trying to emigrate is that I do not have a compsci degree.
It seems that having a bit of paper is much more important than having a track record.
