Inflated Degree Requirements
There are a plethora of companies out there that require bachelors degrees for jobs that do not need the knowledge of a 4 year graduate. That degree equals someone who has a track record of longevity and goal setting, and conformity to corporate and legal environments, and in some cases, trust, that their non-degreed competitors don't have. The first question businesses have to ask is, "Does the position absolutely need a degree skill set?" the second question is, "Are we substituting a degree requirement for one or more of the above conditions?" And the final question of, "At what point do you need that person bad enough to take a risk on them without a degree?"
