Well, I'm pretty sure most industries are prevented by law (or threat of it) from administering pre-employment tests of any kind.

Thus, a company has to use the de facto standard of a college degree.

I also think this has led to the ending of many training/apprentice programs, because they aren't willing to invest the resources on people they know very little about.

And to add, I don’t think many degrees matter to companies other than as a minimum indicator of at least some ability and/or perseverance.

What's the rationale? Is it racist? Sexist?
