VOTE in the Poll!

Like many people Im a college drop-out and the current consensus for people who does not have a degree is not that great compared to those who has at least a Bachelors diploma.

When people asks me how would I be able to compete with those graduates my answer is, a lot of the things that I do in my current job can be learned through an 8 hour online course in Udemy or a simple search in google.

However, I was passing by a big drugstore chain in my place and I saw the job posting outside and it says:

WANTED: Cashier
Requirements: Bachelors degree in any field

That made me wonder, why does a degree matter for that position?

I am a Software Development Quality Assurance Engineer and I was very lucky that my employer trusted the skills I bring in, because if to take and count money requires the fancy diploma, then I wont survive getting a job at least not for now.

My thoughts are, if it were my doctor, Im pretty sure I wouldnt want someone who would tell me that Well I googled it and I think you have cancer but other positions in a company, or the mahor industries as well, can easily be learned through training and self education.

What are your thoughts folks? Share and reply. Lets have a meaningful exchange!

Ofcourse!! College degree still matter in digital age because no matter how you do, companies would always require aspiring employee to have a degree before they could enter the position theyre applying. It is a ticket to find and easier to be in a decent work.
