Hopefully this bleeds into the private sector. It's bullshit that a young person has to go to "second high school" and get saddled with an enormous amount of debt, just so they can get their resume looked at.
You didn't need a degree for most of these jobs 30+ years ago and you shouldn't need one now. Higher education should be for educators and professionals. It shouldn't be forced on everyone.
I've got a nice one too, but mine required a degree. I got an engineering degree though, and that was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. I worked my ass off for that piece of paper.
I've been saying this for a long time now. I've been in the workforce for something like 12 years now, have a good job, make 6 figures, all that good stuff. I honestly cannot recall using a single thing I learned in college in my career. Everything I know came from learning on the job and building experience.
In any case, the whole corporate world is complete garbage. Companies will gladly overpay for new hires just because it's the prevailing practice. I understand if you're trying to lure away a top hot shot executive from another company, but when it's just a staff person, the practice makes no sense. You would think that companies would pay people the same as they're making now at best and force them to prove their worth before giving them anything more... but nope. Then companies fill themselves with job hoppers who have no loyalty except to that 20% salary bump and have no long term or high level experience anywhere.
