    The whole thing becomes pointless. As an employer I rarely find people who’ve been through college to be any better than others who haven’t. In fact many though not all, have a sense of entitlement which makes them much harder to teach. Intelligence shines through in the real world wherever it was educated.

      Well said

      Uni degrees are devalued now. Many of them are just “under water basket weaving” for the better off, meaningless as a guide to common sense ability

      It’s character, innate intelligence and attitude that count. And talking to someone soon shows whether they are there. That’s how I secured my first step, bottom rung and soon moved up. And it’s how I decided whether to employ anyone later on, when I was running the show

      Mind you I worked in private businesses, not corporate, probs different for corporate. I wouldn’t know, corporate was the last place that I would have worked

      The degree just opens the door, that’s when the real learning begins
