True; but it donn't help with speling.
BUT; does college equip a person with MORE skills and knowledge NEEDED for doing the actual WORK involved?
Med school, for sure.
I can post LOTS of stories from folks who were told they were OVER qualified for the job.
What's up with THAT??
There is real belief that the overqualified person will not fit well with his co workers but mostly that he will leave as soon as something better turns up.
Increasingly the work requires dealing with computers and data
I visit docks and warehouses often. The younger types coming in have some college and might be in school. They must have writing skills and ability to use the handheld computers and input devices . A degree is not required however.
At one step up however a degree will be required because of communications abilities and the need to communicate upward and outward. (outside, with me for instance) There are older types who have managed to learn on the job. Those who didn’t are gone
Of course, a degree does not mean the holder knows squat.
