I disagree. If any job asks for degree etc I just ignore it. I don't think I'd enjoy working at a place where they value that sort of thing.

By doing this, you're probably filtering out many good employers. Just like the places that ask for degrees are probably filtering out many good candidates.

I just ignore the requirements - mostly - and if the job sounds interesting, I'll send them a note saying why it sounds interesting and why I believe I'm qualified. Let 'em reject me later, once they've got a bit more information, or vice versa.

That doesn't sound like a very accurate heuristic...
