More and more companies are starting to navigate away from requiring a four year degree. What does this mean for the future of the workforce and the ever changing job market? These large companies are waking up to the reality of what higher education really means. Indoctrination of values that breed entitlement and thin skin.
Within the corporate structure lies a dirty little secret. They don’t want someone who will constantly complain. Someone who always has some kind of issue that needs resolution. They don’t want to have to coddle their employees' fragile little feelings. They aren’t looking for someone with a chip on their shoulder who is more concerned with what bathroom they use rather than the job they were hired to do.
Unfortunately, along with those four year degrees comes a lot of extra baggage. Some pretty strong opinions are constructed during those formative college years. They seem to be fairly agenda based and mostly destructive. Companies don’t need this level of uncertainty within their ranks.
A college degree certainly opens some doors. But, not as many as they used to. Enrollments are down as tuition sky rockets. Let’s face it… The degree from many of these universities are well out of reach for the common man without crippling debt. As time goes on the reward for all that gets less and less. Definitely something to consider.
