A college degree from an accredited institution shows that you can see through a task that takes 4+ years to complete.
There are many other ways to show that, and it's silly to limit anything to only people with college degrees, but that's why people do it.
- paxys 4y agoAll that it shows is that you had enough money to pay for 4 years of college. If that were the only criteria then holding on to a job for 4+ years should count for 1000x more than a college degree, because at least you are accountable for results.
- hot_gril 4y agoHaving a previous similar job helps a ton too. I don't know if they'd even care about college once you have experience.

No, it also shows you can show up on time for those years, and regularly complete a series of reasonably complicated intellectual tasks on a deadline. > If that were the only criteria then holding on to a job for 4+ years should count for 1000x more than a college degree, because at least you are accountable for results. No, college is far more standardized, and the students have their performance evaluated throughout, which can then be easily provided in a digested form. The main issue with college is that many people who could complete the requirements can't, only because they don't have the money.
- juve1996 4y agoThis just isn't true. Our public education is very bad now in much of the country. The fact is what you get out of high school from a huge portion of the population is...not great. No one is stopping anyone from hiring these people. If there is no difference, people will pay less for the cheaper labor.
