Honestly, I’m not sure if hiring a college grad or someone with a 5th grade education is that much different anymore.
I can’t believe how illiterate and without knowledge many college grads I know are.
I know one thing and that is OUR high school education from the 70’s is FAR BETTER than a college education of today that is a FACT!!!
I went back to college a few years ago and I was stunned how stupid these kids are
Most colleges today are overpriced indoctrination centers.
A kid could be homeschooled with a traditional education including classic literature, history, science, math, maybe Latin, but most importantly logical thinking.
Then the kid goes off to college for 4 years where, every day, he’s told there are 20 different genders and Republicans are evil.
Too true. We hired a college grad a few years ago and tried moving him around to about 3 different positions, but he just couldn't do any of them. Finally under terms from one of our suppliers, we had to have a college graduate fill a manager position to handle their account. Since he filled the criteria, he got the job. He has done it adequately for a couple years now, but it's really nothing that anyone else with a brain and knowledge of the business couldn't do. We could have had a more competent person in that position except for the degree requirement. By the way, there was no requirement on the type of degree.
It’s a lot worse than you imagine, I have had quite a few job offers of 150k just because I am able to speak to people. It turns out personal communication, you know TALKING to each Other, is now a Lost Art, and those under 30 are wholly incapable of holding a thoughtful, rational conversation with anyone, oh they can text and tweet, but they can’t Talk, Read or Spell.
