What defines what?
I have 3+ years of (Non-Manager) experience working in the field I am applying for. Does this make my Career level "Experienced (Non-Manager) or am I still "Entry level"? Where is the line?
Does it matter if I have a degree in the specific field where I apply?
THANKS!

You are experienced in your field. Just because you were not a manager, put down what you did related to helping the manager at your job. Entry level is someone right out of school who had never worked a day in their lives.
As for degrees, all that matters is that you have a degree! Any degree. I work along side people with degrees that have nothing to do with our jobs. They were hired BECAUSE they have degrees.

I would consider you to no longer be at the "entry level." After three years, you have significant on-the-job experience. It depends on the job but I'd say that you are no longer at the entry level after two years.
A college degree certainly plays a role. If you have a two-year degree and are competing with four-year graduates, then your three year's experience just might put you on an even basis, depending on the job. (If you're flipping burgers, it doesn't matter. If you're a financial analyst, it matters a great deal.) Again, having a degree specific to the field may or may not be important. An engineering degree is absolutely necessary if you want a job as an engineer. But you can get a job at a TV station without a degree in journalism or communications -- a history or English degree would work fine for most jobs there.
Good luck!

The difference between entry level and experience is that entry level job is specific designed to train job applicant with no experience on how to do a job. Experience is where by the job applicant has knowledge of doing the job. From your description you are more of a middle management level type of applicant.
Sometimes it does matter if you have a degree or not but if called for an interview, it does not matter since how you convience the employer that you are the best for the job will make a difference to you getting or being rejected for the position.

Usually the criteria are different for every employer. Usually entry level is 0-3 or 0-5 years of experience. If you have a working knowledge of your profession, I would describe yourself as experienced (non-manager).

I would go for experienced - OK so you havent been a manager but you have a degree in your field and have 3 years working experience - if you feel your ready for that next step up then go for it! Entry level is usually for people who know nothing of the field OR they have schooling but never worked in the field they are applying for.

Entry Level means no experience.
Experience means that you did that job before for a length of time!

No experience means entry level.
