The dream is that someday employers will say, “Let's hire anybody but a college graduate.

Take the breakdown of a college degree, a CS one for example. 120 credits BUT

  • 60 of those credits or 50% of the degree program is NOT related to your major
  • 30 of those credits or 25% are pre requirement or remedial classes
  • 15 of those credits or 12.5% are introductory classes
  • 15 of those credits or 12.5% are related to the major at hand

Let's say you want to get a masters, and all your classes are now CS related, right? Well a bachelors and a masters is 120+36 or 156 credits in total. So your total relevant course work goes from 12.5% to 32% which is barely above a quarter of all your education being related to the major you are studying

Fuck did things really change like this in the last 20 years???

Take the breakdown of a college degree

Taking into consideration job opening rate/demand for 'college degree' is gonna surpass the time to acquire said degree... Society is gonna have a awesome employment demand gap here soon I'd imagine

I've personally tricked a bunch of companies by proclaiming i had a degree when i didnt. The American employment landscape is based of Satanic perversion at this point. The days of getting by on merit are long gone

The days of getting by on merit are long gone

Now ain't the truth! Every employer I've had where drug screening was requirement, the management/higher ups were junkies of some sort... Rules for thee not for me
