I for one could care less about a person’s formal education when hiring. I look only at their record of achievement in the real world and their drive to make the position that they are applying a success.

Do you ever hire anyone seeking their first job? If so, how do you decide?

I have not, but I have noticed that most of our first-job hires are high performaning interns - true they had to be in college to get those internships, but my point is more that the traditional 4 year college education will become a thing of the past.

Does it really benefit an illiterate 12th grader to be forced through a 4 year liberal arts college? No.

Like chevy chase says in Caddyshack “The world needs ditch diggers, too”
