I think there are tons of ways to evaluate a given individual if one were to go the 'secret-sauce' route: - some standard testing - some aptitude testing - some sort of manual/physical creativity with some sort of toy construction set (lego, erector) to solve a problem or demonstrate something, - give a scenario and then allow unrestricted access to a phone and a computer connected to the internet with a time limit to present one or more potential outcomes/solutions/etc "Global warming is an issue, we face these general problems. Go!" or "It is winter, power goes out at your office, you have these 20 items. There is this much snow, it is this temperature and you live x miles from your workplace and may not use a vehicle. Power will not be restored for x days, what is your plan type things. - Asking specifics about past job/club/religious duties and developing a good idea of general skills Obviously degrees have their uses but college isn't for everyone and not everyone needs a degree to do well in various roles/fields. Yes, I want a doctor/lawyer/engineer to have a degree but apparently 'One in eight billionaires on the Forbes 400 are college dropouts,' [1] (and yes I know that article starts out saying people should get degrees, because it's a business site and this is 'how it is done'). Why can't we find a way to give people without degrees more of a chance?
