What you studied is not such of essence. That you studied, however, is. During a degree, your maturity grows involuntarily, which is what I want. I don’t care what knowledge you gained there, because anything is a bonus.
They just want employees shackled by student loan debts.
Student loan debt is an American thing, but the sentiment is common in companies around the world. So it’s unlikely that’s the case.
Learning is a skill.
Knowledge is free, but college is not. The older I get and the more people I meet, the more I see how little connection there is between basic degrees and intelligence.
Knowledge and maturity can be gained through various paths in life. Whether one sits in a classroom or not, someone dedicated to learn will learn while someone just looking to coast by will coast by. A lot of people have gone to college not due to a love of learning, but because it was expected of them.
So they want the expensive piece of paper just to prove you can endure 4 years of something you’ll never use? Talk about a barrier to entry.
Welp this is retarded enough to unsub from the community. Have fun with the posts of shit thst never happen at an interview🤣
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.
This isn’t an airport
Oh fuck, it’s not?? Then where the hell am I?? My flight is leaving in 10 minutes.
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.
