Won't help until employers stop requiring a college degree in order to hire people. Heck, many places won't even look at people with 10 years of experience unless they have a Masters. It's ridiculous. Big business is all in on the con.

For the megacorps it's more akin to a piece of paper proving membership in the Big Club than anything. They are aristocrats.

Well people used to have to go to the actual business to apply...now a bunch of over educated skulls full of mush can hammer out 20 applications in ten minutes with “easy apply”. If they are really crafty they copypasta the job requirements and make it their work history.

this is honestly where it starts, with the employers realizing degrees are useless.

it is definitely happening, even in big money industries, but it's all moving too fucking slow. why does everything good have to take forever.

Employers aren't going to realize that because they want to off load their training costs to colleges. Most students now attend college for job training degrees (which should just be in their own vocational/tech school) and still graduate with debt. Oh and all those students that graduate with practical job degrees still have to compete with foreign visa holders or immigrants. It's an utter rat race.

Yep, this is it right here. High school and college used to be preparatory, and employers did job training. Employers thought they could stop doing job training, so really, they have only themselves to blame.

Well when the population for decades has been hammered with “People who go to college statistically make more money” (even though people fail to realize it’s a correlation not a causation. Rich kids with well connected parents go to college.) so everyone just goes to college then you as an employer just have to wait for them. The overachievers don’t apply for jobs they go to college because that’s what they think they should do. So the companies wait and look for those.

FIFY: Many companies won’t look at you unless you have an H1B visa and are willing to work for half the salary of a worker with 10 years experience and a Masters.
