Here’s the scoop. Back in 1993 the a federal civil rights law made it illegal for an employer to give basic intelligence tests to potential employees. No more basic math tests, etc.

So, to get around this, employers started requiring “some college” or a college degree for even entry level jobs, saying that they wanted a promotable job candidate.

Now, the government says that it is racist to require a college degree for a job that could be learned through on the job training. I’m not kidding you, the city of Seattle has this statement in one of their minority jobs programs.
