I've had a night to sleep on this issue and I still feel the same way. I was promoted because I have a four year degree. I had to bust my ass to get a B in advanced accounting and I am not going to stand by and watch the rules be bent for someone who does not qualify. Furthermore the requirement for that position is still a degree in Accounting or Finance. This is a government position- life experience means nothing. That is why you have 50 year old secretary's making 20K --sad as that is. They could do my job easily with about 4 months of training but they aren't allowed and I don't think this girl should be either.
As for the statement that said "where do you live" and did you pay your rent last month -----I asked her did she have a degree- not anything about her GPA or did she take remedial math.
I really am shocked that any of you agree with this issue. Asking someone if they have a degree not wrong.
PS- I am taking my degree in an hanging it on the wall this morning.

You asked for advice...we gave you advice. You can be as upset as you want about the situation, but you still shouldn't have flat out asked her about her degree like that, with the situation being what it is.
This is life - you're going to run into situations where less-qualified people will be promoted, and if you continue to drive yourself crazy over every time it happens, you're going to make yourself miserable.
