What should a degree-less published researcher do?
Greetings, I am a published researcher in philosophy of religion. I also receive positive comments frequently and am confident that I shall be able to publish more. The catch is that I do not have a degree. What should I do? Should I wait for more publications? Suppose I do end up publishing in fairly reputable journals, say Q2 journals.
