What does web work have to do with it? What percent of jobs require a college degree for no discernible reason (as evidenced by the fact that any college degree is acceptable)?
It used to be that a HS diploma was required to demonstrate that you could work hard. Now they are easy, so we require a bachelors to prove the same thing.
- jshowa3 7y agoIt has always been a requirement for a bachelors. In fact, there was more of a requirement for a bachelors than there was now. I don't know what the percentage is, but I've been fired from one job as an intern for not completing mine and was told I wouldn't be hired without one when I contracted for another. Nearly all positions I've seen request a bachelors or equivalent experience, especially in engineering positions. Currently 35% of jobs require a degree, with nearly all STEM positions requiring post-secondary education according to findings posted here: https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/recovery-job-growth-and-education-requirements-through-2020/ https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/recovery-job-growth-a...
