Noooo, that's not what I said. You have a degree, so you won't have any problems I wouldn't think.
What I said was those with O or A levels will no longer find it a cakewalk to a position here if they are a trailing spouse. If you have a degree you shouldn't have any problems at all. The administrative positions are normally filled by O/A levels grads but there were situations where LoC were given out to spouses who didn't even finish their O's or High School but because they were cheap (trailing spouses rarely get market value as the employers know you are not in a demanding position but trying to find a job).
However things have changed somewhat now, with the allowing of Foreign Spouses on LTVPs being allowed to obtain a LoC. I think this is why it is now not as easy to pick up the low paying positions any more as it was to level out the playing field as the DP holder could work (with EP spouse) but the LTVP spouse of a PR/SC couldn't. The DP/LoC was tied to the EP. EP lost, so was the LoC. But it's different with the LoC tied to a SGC. It does, however, have to be renewed annually (not a big deal) but it's now longer term and not tied to the expire of the EP so qualify for the position is a wee bit more difficult - not for a degree holder but for anybody lesser educated.
