The interviewer wants to hear if you have the education and qualifications they are looking for in an Electrical Inspector. You must be qualified if you made it to the interview, and having a bachelor's degree was not a requirement. The interviewer wants insight into your professional goals and to see how motivated you are to advance in your career. If you have a bachelor's degree, tell the interviewer when you received it and what type of degree you obtained. If you do not have one, discuss whether or not you are interested in getting one and explain your reasons.

Avoid talking about post-secondary education as if it is not essential. You should not say that a college cannot teach you anything more than you already know, which makes you sound conceited. If you do not wish to obtain your bachelor's degree, explain that you are happy for now and want to focus on gaining experience in the field, but you might be open to it in the future.

"No, I do not have a bachelor's degree. After completing my three-year apprenticeship, I decided to focus on gaining experience as an Electrical Inspector and have been busy with my continuing education courses and the conferences I have been attending. However, I want to obtain my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and plan on starting courses in the next few years."
