I find more and more people with less education even below my 2yr tech college and some other things getting hired more and more. Cheaper to pay them and easier to control them I guess plus easier to replace when they fail.
Yes, I understand your argument; however, in my daughter’s situation. that was not the case. The day after she graduated from college, her former employer fired her because she was “over qualified”. Unable to secure a position in her field, she did bar tending. A group of men, regulars, were impressed with her efficiency and suggested she apply for a position in the automobile dealership where they worked. She did and was brought on board to ‘market’ used cars via the internet. Since this was a new concept at the dealership, without a specific position and pay grade, they ‘hired’ her to fill an empty position in their body shop. That led to much confusion insofar as reporting responsibility. Normally, such positions in other dealerships come with a pay grade + commission. She was paid close to minimum wage but, as a result of her work, generated more than a million $s in sales for the dealership in only 4 months. To a certain extent, her dismissal was a blessing. The young man she was training did not comprehend the methodology of internet sales, despite my daughter’s training. Essentially, you get what you pay for. My gut feeling is that, despite her Marketing Degree, they still viewed her as a bartender and patted themselves on the back for giving her the job.
“Cheaper to pay them and easier to control them I guess plus easier to replace when they fail.”
Not only that, but the people hiring them are often safeguarding their own jobs by doing so. Good workers can pose a threat to their bosses.
