College degrees might not be required in some contexts but are they predictive of some kind of job success? If so, then employers are just being rational in hiring strategy.
- toast0 7y agoPart of the push for everyone to do college is also a lowering of standards, both for entry and for completion. So it's hard to know what today's degree predicts, regardless of the experience of degrees from years ago.
- randall 7y agoThis may have been true when going to college was optional, but now as it's seen as requisite, it's no longer as effective a predictor as it was before, especially in careers where there's a mismatch between personal quality and deference to authority.
- dredmorbius 7y agoPredictive != causal. College may simply be an expensive interview prefilter, in many cases. It is exclusionary for many.
