Please stop demanding regular and bachelor's degrees for the jobs!

Job requirements are just wish lists for a company

 

You'd be surprised to know how much some specialized technicians with vocational training can earn, even without a degree.

As the number of people with degrees increases, their worth decreases: it's a simple supply and demand type of thing, coupled with the fact that monkey jobs are no longer needed in the developed world. When my uncle got his first job as a bank clerk with a high-school diploma in 1984, he was getting the same money (adjusted for inflation, obviously) that I got at my first job, which required a master's degree.

Then again, there is always the self-employed way, but you have to be willing to put in the time, effort and the skills.

 

Wagie, Wagie, get in cagie.

Horrifying reality aside, I remember reading an ad (hopefully a fake one) for an internship with a requirement of 2 years + a bachelors degree.

 

Personally i think thay the combination between: Exceptional Skills and The Degree is the best thing to have.

Also it is easy to get a degree if you are willing to do so.

I'm 27, And i Had two bachelor degrees from different fields and different universities when i was only 25.

Right now i'm about to finish my MBA.

 

University degrees were not uncommon in 2008.

And are you really shocked that they want accountants, programmers and NUCLEAR PLANT OPERATORS to have advanced degrees?

 

I was about to say something along those lines. 90 percent of people who go through college are only able to do so buy taking student loans which is another way of saying "government funded" by most likely money they just printed up from thier ass and boom right out of high school you are in debt.

Its degree inflation by literal inflation. It's so fucking gross really.

 

I think your main problem is porn.

 

None, of those things really need degrees for, if you are willing to learn them by yourself, get to know each in 20 hours, then make some aditional learnings then apply to a job with them as requirements anyway, if they refuse, freelancing and then reapplying and tell on the interview what you do will get you a job, if they fear the competition possibilities, honestly you'll have to improvise

 

Totally understand you, I finished high school years ago and decided to go to university to get a degree, the course is so hard it's been now 4 years I have been into it(it's a 2,5 years course), I have lagged because I get unmotivated by knowing I have no experience in what I'm studying as I haven't had an opportunity for work, and if I do manage to finish there will be 1000 that did already too and many with better skills at it than me, I truly don't know what to do, it's like I'm in the end of a road.
