No, no, they are unto something. Why ask for a college degree for a job that only requires a GED

I thought it was funny. Feel like its more trying to put together a vibe in a way it would fit in a meme. Like the forget everything you learned in college is a saying (feel its from long ago though) that you would only here with jobs that required a college degree. Usually the idea is it was the old jaded guy to the fresh out of school guy on the first day while showing the ropes.

I’ve been in hiring meetings, probably 12-15 of them, where we screened candidates by education level. It literally did not matter to the hiring manager what field their degree was in, where they went, or if they’d even graduated yet. He just wanted everyone to have or to be working towards a degree.
This was a call center. The job posting literally only listed high school diploma or equivalent as a job requirement. There was absolutely nothing about a college experience that would markedly improve your work at that job.
When that was explained to him, as only a handful of applicants during one round of hiring were even in school, he said, “if they haven’t been to college they quit sooner.”
That was it. The only justification for screening out people without higher education. He had a hard time keeping people at work and figured that people with worthless degrees would feel more stuck than people without them.
