A new report shows that, even after businesses announce dropping college degree requirements for jobs, most hire college graduates anyway.

This article outlines an opinion that organizations either tried skills based hiring and reverted to degree required hiring because it was warranted, or they didn’t adapt their process in spite of executive vision.

Since this article is non industry specific, what are your observations or opinions of the technology sector? What about the general business sector?

Should first world employees of businesses be required to obtain degrees if they reasonably expect a business related job?

Do college experiences and academic rigor reveal higher achieving employees?

Is undergraduate education a minimum standard for a more enlightened society? Or a way to hold separation between classes of people and status?

Is a masters degree the new way to differentiate yourself where the undergrad degree was before?

Edit: multiple typos, I guess that’s proof that I should have done more college 😄

    require skills

    Does this mean skills learn on the job or from a higher education institution?

    Would people accept a highrise Disney by a team of self taught engineers?

    Would we allow a surgeon to practice without a medical degree?

    What about if that surgeon went to a vocational school and then did the normal years of internship, fellowship, supervision, etc?
