what is a far larger problem is the fact that employers basically demand college and university degrees for jobs which require neither.
I am not american, but i wonder why the US seems to lack a tiered tertiary education system? In the netherlands for example, we have different levels of tertiary education going all the way from trade school to polytechnical education to research universities. This systems seems to create a far more fitting model for the labour market, instead of requiring everyone to have a college education which all vary widly in terms of levels of competence.
- danschumann 9y agoI once applied for a job at a university to develop backend systems. They rejected me immediately because I didn't have higher education, then they called me 2 months later, when someone actually read my resume and saw my skills. I will tell everyone that skills, recent projects, and cool hobbies will prove you are qualified way more than a degree!
