You must be one of those non-indoctrinated types I wouldn’t hire.
Judging from your lack of professionalism I highly doubt you could land a position like the one I’m hiring for even if you had a PhD.
The degree doesn’t necessarily make you smarter but it does make one more well rounded and demonstrates a level of determination.
Now go back to your cube and code some software...
“You must be one of those non-indoctrinated types I wouldn’t hire.”
You would be wrong. I laugh at those simpletons with their 4-year “college degrees” who think they have mastered the universe. Call me when you have 20+ years experience and could teach PhDs.
Snooty types like you are middle managers types, nothing ever more. We like to call them “useful idiots”, but I usually terminate them as they dismiss talent based on the wrong assumption that college is something to behold, and anyone dismissing the talent the company needs is defeating their own purpose.
College is something you do when you are 22. I am looking for accomplished engineers, not recent graduates. So, when someone like you says candidates must have a college degree I have to assume you don’t know the difference between accomplished engineers and recent graduates. I don’t care what someone did when they were 22. I want to know what they have accomplished since.
