Being skilled is only part of being a good employee, I think it's fair to look at a degree as an indication that someone is able to commit to something long term etc but of course I have to assume there's a way for people without degrees to make up for that indication.
- briandear 3y agoMeasuring commitment using a university degree is rather silly. I have two degrees, including an MBA, and I’m just as non-committal as I was before the degrees.
- mrits 3y agoYou'd also have to show it is a commitment to the job and and not a commitment to improving themselves. Common sage advise now is to job hop at the beginning of your career.
- ghaff 3y agoI mean, it's a question of degree (ha!). An MBA (I have one) is pretty straightforward if you have a technical degree from a decent school; read any of the MBA first year books and it's always the math that gets people as was certainly the case when I was a tutor. But, even so, it takes some degree of commitment to plow through a formal education program.
- ghaff 3y agoIt's also an indication--assuming a school of a certain tier--that someone else has already put the effort into vetting a person so you may not even need to. As far as a degree is concerned, I was once given an offer without even interviewing. I asked to come in and talk to people anyway but I didn't need to.
