Many CIC officers do not have any type of degree, and barely passed high school at that. Point in case, I met a female CIC officer who is now working as a Budweiser Girl after having just passed high school.
The point is not if there are people with degrees in the CIC, its that having a degree is an essential requirement to be an officer in the rest of the CF, but not for the CIC (who are still considered to be commissioned officers on the same level as everyone else).
Not really sure what your point is.
Given very limited information and expanding on your rational, I see an Officer who has completed something(high School). This person is working and contributing to society. Do you know what are the other considerations. What kind of background does she come from? Is she able to afford to got to University? What are her family background limitations in giving her assistance? Is she working doing CIC work and going to University to further herself at the same time. If not is she attempting to incraese her knowledge base with in her ablity to do so. Does this make her any less a capable Officer when she reports for duty?
Just because she works at a career that would seem to be demeaning to you is she any less an Officer. I personally know of very cabable Officers who's primary employment is driving Honey wagons sucking out peoples spetic systems. Having said that the addition side of the information is that he owns the company?
That's my point. A CIC officer comes from many different backgrounds and make a valuable contribution to the Aims of the CCM.
