I’ve heard that now that employers can’t give prospective employees an IQ test, they use college attendance details as a substitute.

My daughter and nephew had the same experience. They graduated from their colleges and could not get work. They both volunteered (unpaid) and got Part time jobs later.

For my nephew, the part time job is only temporary, but for my daughter there are hopes.

It looks like businesses are testing the young folks these days. And the American Dream is much harder.

Not a bad substitute. A degree, however lame, demonstrates an accredited ability to choose, commit to, stick to, and complete a 4 year full-time project to the satisfaction of dozens of certified experts in the given subject. That’s nothing to sneeze at.
