- mschuster91 5y agoOr fix the demand side. Right now, megacorps are abusing colleges as a filter to weed out people who can't cope with high stress environments or keep deadlines and, even more egregious, load the cost for a lot of what used to be employer-paid on-the-job training onto the students via student loans. A "bullshit job" should not require a college degree.
- gruez 5y agoHow would that "fix" look like? Awareness campaigns? "ban the box"?
- mschuster91 5y agoBan companies from requiring college degrees unless they can prove a college degree and the associated skills/knowledge are mandatory to fulfill the job.

- randomifcpfan 5y agoIn California, if an employment test is passed at different rates by different races or genders, that in itself is considered evidence of illegal discrimination. Employers use a college degree requirement as a proxy for competency that doesn’t get them sued by the state.
- ngc248 5y agoThis won't fix the problem. The older/well known colleges will still be prestigious and demand for them will not reduce.
- com2kid 5y agoIt will fix it eventually when those new colleges build up a reputation. It'll take time but it will fix itself.
