Do you foresee the bachelor degree requirement ever going away

[Fernando]

I have multiple degrees. Did they help me in appraising?
I tend to think so in how it allows me in critical thinking outside the box and adapt to changes and weighing risks and benefits in decision making.

I absolutely loathe this term when used to reference appraisers. Makes me boil.

Likewise here. As do the words 'pricepoint', and, my least favorite, 'stakeholders' *

*Pro tip: Unless you're the one holding the stake steady so Prof Van Helsing can drive it through Dracula's heart, it just makes you sound like an unserious dolt. Listening bureaucrats?)

I didn't read the majority of this thread so forgive me if this has been covered.

In New Jersey you don't need a bachelors degree to be licensed residential.
You need it to go right to certified. If you don't have one, you have to be licensed residential for 5 years.

I don't believe a BS/BA is necessary / correlated to higher quality appraisals. I do, however, believe some focused education on English and Statistics would have been extremely helpful. A bit too late now.

English....
Do you mean grammar....
For typical residential appraisals....
Basic English and elementary school level math is all that's required....
Plus, minus, 0....
