Each government series has it's own criteria for what consitutes
an employee at a particular GS level.  We were having problems with
the "Computer Scientist" series.  This whole things went from local
people, who agreed that degrees aren't as important other forms of
experience up through the regional (Philadelphia) OPM.  The other main
problem was that they don't consider pre degree work to be "experience"
so if you took a year or two off and did meaningful and significant
work, they didn't count that either.
