For the last 20 years or so, we have seen millions of people go to colleges and universities, piling up huge debts and getting degrees that literally weren\u2019t worth the parchment they were printed on. For the last 10 or so years, we have seen the rise of degrees in \u201cStudies.\u201d People with these degrees literally had no usable skills, unless they minored in something useful such as coding and computers. Now employers have decided that mandating a college degree is a waste of time. Here are the details from Fox Business News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Employers don’t value college degrees as much as originally thought, recent survey data<\/a> shows, and the disdain is behind a restored appreciation for blue-collar job-seekers that bring skill and experience over education. <\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m not surprised at this, but disappointed it took so long for employers to figure this out. I didn\u2019t go to college, and have been working for my entire adult life. I took classes when I needed to learn something, but never bothered with College. This fact, that I didn\u2019t go to college and get a degree in \u201cStar Trek Studies,\u201d has cost me potential jobs.<\/p>\n When asked about the “return on investment” of higher education, a whopping 67% of participating employers responded “strongly no” when asked if they believed institutions of higher education were “graduating students with relevant skills that today’s business community needs.” <\/b><\/p>\n “Colleges used to be a place where you would get a degree, and that would only enhance an effective human being, an already effective human being. Now we’re seeing colleges attach these degrees to people that literally can’t come out and do some of the life skills that we need.” <\/b><\/p>\n Congratulations. You have just figured out what I\u2019ve known for a while. Today\u2019s \u201cCenters of higher learning\u201d are nothing more then Marxist totalitarian reeducation camps, and very expensive ones to boot. Even the STEM and medical tracks are being infected with the DEI\/WOKE drivel. The more prestigious and expensive the \u201cschool,\u201d the more likely the graduates will be all but useless in the workplace.<\/p>\n “The talent shortage will just get worse because high schools and colleges produce no talent,” one employer said. <\/b><\/p>\n Another called for skills to be taught in high school, while a third responded to the survey question with “Absolutely not,” calling advanced education a “waste” from the perspective of a former college graduate. <\/b><\/p>\n When I was in high school, it was in a small town. Some of the skills they taught are completely obsolete these days such as drafting, but I also took classes in wood and metal shop. I haven\u2019t done any welding since then, and frankly I sucked at it, but I know the basics.<\/p>\n Only 10% of participants said a college degree would make a potential job-seeker more hirable. On the other hand, 41.5% said the degree makes “no difference,” while over 40% said a college degree would make them less likely to hire a prospective applicant.<\/b><\/p>\n That 40% less likely is interesting. I think I know where it\u2019s coming from. The recent pro-terrorist antisemitic protests since the October 7th<\/sup> attack has already cost a number of future graduates potential jobs. Potential employers are also starting to see that these people are literal precious snowflakes and expect to have things handed to them. Most have no work ethic at all.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
