2020-09-29 01:59:34 UTC  

I'm sure he already has tho

2020-09-29 02:00:02 UTC  

He's college educated

2020-09-29 02:54:00 UTC  

College degrees don't mean shit when your industry has laid of 10s if not 100s of thousands of people since the beginning of the year

2020-09-29 03:11:14 UTC  

College degrees dont mean shit period

2020-09-29 03:11:20 UTC  

unless its in engineering.

2020-09-29 04:18:45 UTC  

degrees are the world's most expensive toilet papers

2020-09-29 04:29:36 UTC  

Engineering, Medical, and Law degrees are literally the only reason to go to college

2020-09-29 05:10:14 UTC  

you dont get medical or law degrees in college but yes

2020-09-29 05:10:59 UTC  

wouldn't know, spent one semester there and got a job <:tuckerlaugh:758872277550235658>

Degrees are a ticket into a career, depending on your field of study, that college study may be valuable applied to your career. I'd say I could have taken a 6 months intesnsive learning program to prepare me for what I do today, possibly a year since it is interdiscipline. Most of what I do day-to-day was learned on the job over time. Some concepts and foundational understanding *did* come from college. But, to even get an interview you have to have that paper (or papers increasingly).
TBH, a bachelor's degree isn't much better than an associates degree from 30 years ago, or a High School Diploma from 1950.

2020-09-29 14:58:56 UTC  

College degrees, like everything else, have been devalued to near worthlessness via government money creation (e.g. student loans for anyone who can fog a mirror). College standards have also been dumbed down over the years to accommodate a larger student population.

2020-09-29 15:01:57 UTC  

the other issue is they are simply used as a filter system

2020-09-29 15:02:32 UTC  

the job problay doesnt require it in reality

2020-09-29 15:03:00 UTC  

but it makes a great filter HR can use to shorten the pile

2020-09-29 15:04:47 UTC  

It may be a filter for conscientiousness and to a lesser degree IQ

2020-09-29 15:05:18 UTC  

it’s an inefficient mechanism for evaluating those traits though

2020-09-29 15:05:20 UTC  

i have seen hr departments do some realy shifty things with "filtering"

2020-09-29 15:05:43 UTC  

4 years long, possibly 250k dollars

2020-09-29 15:06:10 UTC  

for isntance they have a job they want to have a h1b take

2020-09-29 15:06:28 UTC  

but they have to offer the job to some one in the usa first

2020-09-29 15:07:51 UTC  

so what they will do is place a job listing with imposable or bizaro requierments that no one either would qualify or intelegently acept

2020-09-29 15:08:09 UTC  

when no one applies they say they cant find some one to do the work

2020-09-29 15:08:22 UTC  

and then hire the h1b for pennies on the dollar

2020-09-29 15:09:04 UTC  

i once saw an ad for a job that requiered 15 years of experiance in java

2020-09-29 15:09:16 UTC  

java had only existed for 5 years

2020-09-29 15:09:54 UTC  

so i looks at some of the companies other listings
