[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3626373, member: 38658"] We have so many positions that require credentials (degrees) but honestly, so many recent graduates only know the world of academia. When I was involved in the process of interviewing a person for a management position, I would always ask a certain question. I'd ask them if they knew what Ramen Noodles were and had they eaten them for several days in a row. If yes, I know this person has worked his way through college. Probably worked all his life. I know the Ramen noodles weeks/months....ha. Three jobs and still needing a student loan. Yes, some jobs need the credentials because of the subject of the job requires certain knowledge that only comes from the emersion you receive in specific studies. Other than that, I would prefer to hire a person that has worked their butts off. It amazing how good you can get at anything. Most people don't know that every job, including degreed management positions, are learned on the job. [/QUOTE]
