Well yeah obviously there are exceptions for that. But for your 08/15 office job you don’t actually need a degree if you look at the job routines. Employers just often require one to limit the number of applicants, I guess?
Right. Im just saying getting a degree that actually makes you employable is still worth it. People are really down on secondary education but its not all just useless.
Depends in the field. I’m currently getting a masters that is not useful for the actual job at all, but is legally required for me to move up to the next position.
You say that, but as someone currently looking for work using connections and 10 years of experience, I suspect that over 50% of my applications are rejected due to lack of a degree.
Connections and work experience are all that matter.
Im a teacher. I cant teach without a degree. No amount of connections will change that.
I suppose so.

I think the market is just poor right now also. I feel like we are nose diving into another recession
