College degree requrements are also fading from LinkedIn job postings.

Not only are people eager to be seen for the skills they have, not just the degree they have (or don’t), but hirers are realizing that by putting skills at the center of recruitment and defining their open roles by the skills needed to do the job, they can find better matches and tap into more diverse talent pools."

In the US, job postings that don’t have degree requirements are up from 15% in January 2020 to 24% in 2022, according to Raman. And employers are increasingly looking beyond who a job candidate knows or what school they attended to find great talent; more than 45% of hirers on LinkedIn now explicitly use skills data to fill their roles.

"While degrees are not going away anytime soon, more employers are realizing that by just filtering candidates through this narrow lens, they actually miss out on great skilled candidates that are out there ready to do the job,

Abortions
(In Michigan the new Constitutional amendment allows a “health practitioner” to perform abortions without being impeded or curtailed and the person is protected from civil charges if the woman dies from malpractice or effects of the abortion.)

Pretty insulting.
I design program languages.
I can teach a 8 year old how to program,
the stuff I designed.
Computer science BS class of 90.
I remember the Dean of the dept deriding me,
“you are a scientist not an engineer”.
I made my living as an engineer, but I’m a Scientist
by formal education.

Community association managers.

The starting salary is dirt, the hours are long, and the days are tough. Most burn out in 4 years.

Five years in, with some solid training and credentials, a strong work ethic and smarts, and it’s 100k+. On-site managers make 80-150k, easily. I know; I’ve mentored several people in this industry and they are rock stars raking it in.

Senior Directors are making bank. There are postings for 160k+.

I’m a senior director. Due to my health, I now work exclusively from home. One of my former clients offered me $175k to come back, but I physically can’t do the job they need. They wouldn’t offer that much to anyone else.

Recession proof, minimal college required, great field for a tough, smart person with solid organizational and communication skills.

Stay off of LinkedIn. I noticed over 10 years ago that it had become basically professional Facebook. I’ve heard others swear they found jobs through LinkedIn. I’ve been an audit/finance contractor for 18 years and I can tell you I’ve never been hired through it...and I’m often in the market 2-3 times a year as I cycle through contracts.

The owner of LinkedIn is also a far left lunatic.
