I grew up pretty low income, Midwest rural, and there’s a clear difference between those of us from my high school class that went to college, and those that didn’t. I busted my butt to pay my way through school, and I am a much better person, and a much better employee because of it. University is an over priced pyramid scheme, but you learn things at university, like work ethic, that really sets you apart from other prospective employees. I see nothing wrong with a job requiring a college degree.
- finnthehuman 6y agoUnless the degree is for something quite uniquely skilled, it's always been the case that college is just an indicator of baseline dedication and ability to learn on the job. Of course there are always sharp and diligent people that didn't go to college. But if they don't have a degree or work experience, then you have to interview them to find out and possibly do more on the job training. When someone already has lots of applicants, they don't bother finding out.
