Struggling with commas...

I'm struggling with the commas in the following sentence. I've offset the phrase "like me", but am not sure it sounds right. Can someone comment?
Thanks,
Danny

Sentence:
Possessing a reasonable amount of skills, most non-degreed engineering designers, like me, can easily find a job in today’s market.
  

Top answer

Possessing a reasonable amount of skills, most non-degreed engineering designers like me can easily find a job in today’s market Commas are the least of your problems. Ball that piece of paper up tightly and see if you can knock over that souvenir German nutcracker from your chair. I don't want to write for you, mostly because I can't see the rest of the piece and don't know what style you're going for, but I will suggest you be sure you need the "like me" part.
