Ask HN: Discrimination based on education?
Could turning away job applicants for their lack of college education be considered discrimination?
- valarauca1 13y agoNo because education is standard practice, and the water mark by with proficiency with the absence of experience is measured by. While I'll admit a lot of CS courses, security courses, etc. are complete and total garbage. I've had community college professors tell me Object Orienting programming was a fad, and really not worth dwelling on. Because if your going to earn any money in software it'll be with COBOL or FORTRAN which don't have those fancy things.
