I wish I shared your optimism.
I see this as an effort to continue the dumbing down of American and creating the ability to hire more illiterates. Twenty years ago I noticed a rise in stupid people in the workplace. There’s no other word for it.
About a year or two ago some halfway decent study found people graduating college were actually less intelligent than when they entered four years prior.
The college grad new hires are hardly different than the high school new hires. Both require extensive training on how to do basic things in the office. I’d rather take the high schooler who is often more moldable and had the confidence and boldness to apply with only a high school diploma. We can offer to pay for a practical degree for them once they’ve been with the company a few years and offer it as a way to train and retain them. Both sides win then.
A lot of places are giving up on even criminal backgrounds because virtually all minorities and people under 30 would be disqualified now.
Gee, I wonder what the underlying agenda is? /s
