It’s No Surprise That “Skills-Based” Hiring Has Not Worked (www.forbes.com)

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 😄

Having a degree means you are docile, obedient and perseverant especially in the face of bullshit, welcome aboard.

Lmao, perseverant yes. The rest of that sentence sounds like sadness & jealousy masquerading as projection. Or is my challenging you too docile?

I don't have anything to be jealous about. I learned a very in-demand trade and am part of a union. But I got sucked in to the bureaucracy and often meet degreed proffessional computer touchers. It's just an observation of how they are
