I have mentioned that before. There are a surprising # of government and quasi government organization that hire a lot of graduates from these colleges. Unless it is a defined skill set: accounting, engineering, chemistry, etc., they just need a degree from a 4 year college.

So there are tons of process jobs, out-reach jobs, supervisory jobs, which hire these grads.

Just here in Seattle, we have city of seattle, king county, various housing agencies, various community health, transport coordination, community centers, improvement districts etc.

Extreme example - We have light rail going up to north Seattle (Northgate). I ran in 2 folks that were liaisons to rental groups, businesses. They were half joking that their job was 2 meetings a day (usually at Starbucks) and then head home to write it up. Their work days were basically 5 hr for most of the year.

They assume that a 4-year degree weeds out the real losers and pretty much guarantees that you can read. A lot of these jobs are almost all OJT so that’s sufficient.
