I am thinking of getting a life experience degree for accounting, but I have over 15 years exp in the field…

I have heard of these and honestly, I have thought about getting one. I have over 15 years experience, two jobs in 15 years. I currently work as assistant controller for a local firm here and I have hired and fired more young kids with degrees due to lack of knowledge in accounting. I have had at least 3 people in the position of staff accountant and all three screwed up the chart of accounts and I had to fix. I was going to run the position again in the paper, but have decided against it.

The current controller is leaving and I am interested in her position, but it requires a bachelor degree. I have an associates degree, but they will not consider me without that piece of paper. And I practically run the accounting department.

I am eventually going to leave and get a controller position. Do you guys think that life experience degrees are bad, not professional? I am not lieing about my experience, I just simply need a boost so I can qualify for the job I know I can do. Advice?
